Public broadcasting is television and other electronic media outlets whose primary mission is public service. The CBC is Canadas public broadcaster. The original name for the CBC was CRBC and it was founded in 1932. In 1936 the CBC was born and was changed from CRBC. A big advantage that public broadcasting provides is the fact that they are not completely driven by money and may produce something knowing it will not have a financial return but will provide a lot for the community and the minority. Although I believe public broadcasting is good for Canada some people believe otherwise because it costs around 1.2$ billion of taxpayer money and private broadcasting is also here. In modern society today, public broadcasting is good for the minority of people and may be willing to go for a higher risk, higher reward type idea where they risk money and time for the community, for ex. Investigative journalism.
