The Global Task Force for Public Media (French: Groupe de travail mondial pour les médias publics) is a working group of leaders from eight national public broadcasters formed in September 2019.[1] It is chaired by Catherine Tait, president and CEO of Canada's public broadcaster, CBC/Radio-Canada.[2]
The task force seeks to contribute to the public discourse on the issues and challenges facing public media such as financial pressure, competition for audience share in the digital market, and online disinformation.[3][4][5] Its mandate is to defend the interests and values of public media on a global scale.[1] Seven values are listed in its mission statement: access, accuracy, accountability, creativity, impartiality, independence and high standards of journalism.[6]
