CJPME's ongoing advocacy efforts have led to a significant, though partial, success with CBC regarding its coverage of Ottawa’s Capital Pride's statement. Following Media Analyst Anthony Issa's complaint, CBC Managing Editor Nancy Waugh acknowledged that the original article incorrectly paraphrased Capital Pride's letter, specifically omitting key language regarding Israel's actions in Gaza. While the CBC did not include the full condemnation of Israel, including Capital Pride’s reference to a "plausible risk of genocide," they did modify the article to more clearly attribute the language condemning the October 7 events as "terrorism" to Capital Pride statement directly.
This correction, although limited, remains a notable victory in CJPME's media advocacy, as CBC has admitted, in part, to the need for clearer attribution and more precise reporting.
CJPME will continue to push for the inclusion of better reporting and fairer media coverage of organizations in solidarity with Palestine.
