"The End of the CBC? is a book that should be read by anyone who cares about how journalism and democracy intersect."
Tony Burman, The Toronto Star, February 29, 2020
"In many ways, this timely and thought-provoking book is more about saving Canadian journalism than about saving the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation."
Beth Haddon, Literary Review of Canada
"The End of the CBC?, argues that Canada’s public broadcaster must rapidly and quite savagely reinvent itself or risk "oblivion." And it is nothing if not timely reading."
Chris Selley, The National Post, March 20, 2020
"As The End of the CBC? makes abundantly clear, the time is ripe for a reassessment and renewal of Canadian public broadcasting. Taras and Waddell assess the options for the CBC in a media world that is increasingly dominated by foreign-based streaming giants. This is a bold and insightful contribution to the study of contemporary mass communications in Canada."
Gregory Taylor, University of Calgary
"The End of the CBC? is a must-read for academics, policy-makers, journalists, and members of the public concerned with how best to secure CBC’s future in our fractious and fragmented media environment."
Patrick McCurdy, University of Ottawa
"The CBC is one of the pillars of Canada’s public square, helping support our culture and political discourse. In their masterfully researched book, Taras and Waddell have exposed the forces inside and outside the corporation that are threatening to pull that pillar down. It’s essential reading for anyone who cares about the future of the CBC and our country as a whole."
Sean Holman, Mount Royal University
