A veteran news producer for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation has said she quit in disgust at the national network jettisoning "journalistic integrity."
In an op-ed for the National Post, Tara Henley said she left following a flood of complaints about the dramatic change at the CBC over the last 18 months.
"When I started at the national public broadcaster in 2013, the network produced some of the best journalism in the country," she wrote.
"By the time I resigned last month, it embodied some of the worst trends in mainstream media," wrote Henley, a 20-year news veteran.
Working at the network now involves having to "abandon journalistic integrity," Henley said.
