## About

Global News has a problem its journalism cannot fix: its owner is nearly broke. One of Canada's most-trusted English broadcasters, it covers national and local news with a record raters call reliable if slightly left of center. Yet parent Corus has shed staff, lost marquee channels and diluted shareholders to near zero, leaving a respected newsroom lashed to a sinking corporate ship.

## Profile

- **Ownership:** A division of Corus Entertainment, which operates the Global Television Network.
- **Funding:** Commercial, advertising-supported, financed by parent Corus Entertainment.
- **Focus areas:** Canadian national and local news, politics, and world coverage.


## What the position means

TOLD classifies what an outlet publishes over time, based on ownership, funding
and focus. It describes a pattern; it is not a rating of quality and not a
ranking. Nothing in TOLD sorts, hides or promotes a source by its position.
State-aligned and partisan outlets are in the catalogue on purpose, labelled.
