 Here’s what you need to know to get the day started: | | | What to do if CBC News disappears from your feed | | |  | As Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, and Google threaten to eliminate some news from platforms in Canada following passage of Bill C-18, the federal Online News Act, some readers are getting a preview of what social media and search engines will look like without Canadian news.

As a reader of the Morning Brief, you already know there are many ways to get CBC journalism.
Like many of you, I begin my day with this newsletter. I read the digest, click through a few story links to the CBC News website, and, I can launch the day’s Front Burner podcast from within the email.
Our journalism is found in many places. As the country’s national public broadcaster, we know Canadians count on us to be widely available and there when it counts — on the platform and service of your choice, at the time of your choosing. Within our newsrooms, we describe this audience promise as being “live when you need us and on-demand when you want us.”
Newsletters are one way to find us. Social media and search engines are another.
Recently, I found myself among a select group of Canadians blocked from accessing news content on Instagram, including from the main CBC News account. Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, has begun to restrict access to news content for up to five per cent of Canadians.
As I wrote in a recent editor’s blog, the Instagram lockout gave me a glimpse of what we can expect in the future if Meta and Google make good on threats to eliminate Canadian news from their platforms in retaliation for Bill C-18, the federal Online News Act that will force these platforms to strike financial agreements with news media outlets for "fair compensation" — still undefined — when news content appears there. In Google's case, the California-based company says it will eliminate news links for Canadians from its search engine, news and discover products when the law comes into effect, expected in December.
We continue to report on the Online News Act, the fallout and all sides of the debate in Canada. See for example these recent stories and features:Needless to say, many people in Canada rely on social media and search engines to get news — all manner of news, and especially in times of crisis and emergency. We want to ensure you know where else you can go to get CBC journalism should you suddenly be cut off by any third-party platform or service. Below is an up-to-date list of all the places you can find CBC News. You can also check out this local news directory maintained by CBC/Radio-Canada, which allows you to search for other news providers in your community.
Finally, I want to personally thank you, on behalf of all of the journalists and staff at CBC News, for making us a part of your day. The job of public service journalism is a privilege and a responsibility we do not take lightly.
Sincerely,
Brodie Fenlon
Editor in Chief, CBC News
