报告:250万加拿大人缺乏当地新闻,可能传播错误信息。 Report: 2.5 million Canadians lack local news, risking misinformation spread.

加拿大政策替代中心的一份报告指出,加拿大当地新闻报道显著下降,近250万加拿大人生活在一个或没有地方新闻渠道的地区,高于2008年的水平。 A report by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives highlights a significant decline in local news coverage in Canada, with nearly 2.5 million Canadians living in areas with one or no local news outlets, up from 2008 levels. 社会媒体巨人威胁的传统促销商业模式造成了这种下降,导致错误信息传播的差距。 This decline, attributed to the traditional ad-fueled business model being threatened by social media giants, has led to gaps where misinformation can spread. 报告建议扩大广播公司在地方新闻中的作用并支持媒体的创新。 The report suggests expanding the CBC's role in local news and supporting innovation in media.
