For the New Media class on February 21, 2025, we went on a very helpful field trip. This trip showed and taught us how the CBC works. Also, we visited the Vancouver Film School to learn more about different types of new media. During this field trip, we explored many aspects of new media and broadcasting. The first place we visited was CBC. When we arrived, we split into two groups. The first group went inside the building to start the tour, while the second group went to get breakfast. There was a guide who helped the students learn more about the place. In the first part of the tour, we visited a huge office where many people worked together to produce news for the entire city. In the second part, they showed us how the cameras operate and how live news broadcasts work. They explained that all the cameras used for recording do not require a cameraman. Instead, they are controlled remotely to move, change angles, record, or pause. Each camera has a screen that helps the reporter read the news by looking directly at the camera. The most exciting part of this visit was the live radio recording section. There was a dedicated room for this, equipped with two cameras, four or five microphones, and two screens. There was also a control room where everything was managed. The second place we visited was VFS (Vancouver Film School). This place was my favorite because I enjoy making movies and doing creative work. At VFS, they explained the purpose of the school and how they help students achieve their career goals. They also showed us the many opportunities available for students or anyone interested in this field. We toured the entire building and learned how movies, games, and films are created. This field trip was one of my favorites. I had the opportunity to learn more about broadcasting. I also gained a better understanding of different types of new media.

Public broadcasting refers to networks that exist and are created for the purpose of informing, entertaining, and educating the general public of a country, which are usually funded by the government or public assistance and are also not dependent on advertising. The main public broadcasting of Canada is the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), which is also known in French as Radio-Canada. This network includes news, cultural, and entertainment programs. Two important historical points include: CBC was established in 1936: CBC initially expanded as a radio network to unite the people of the country against the influence of American media.
The start of television broadcasting in 1952: This public broadcasting launched its first television network in the 1950s. Public broadcasting has advantages, one of which is its quality and content, and culture is always a priority, without any commercial advertising or the like. This means that programs with useful and healthy content for the community can be produced without the need for economic pressures. Some people believe that because these media are funded by government budgets, they may not have complete impartiality and that programs and news may be influenced by government policy. To attract today’s audience and viewers, public media such as CBC need to focus on digital platforms, social networks, and online content.
