Canada’s public broadcaster CBC has issued internal guidelines advising journalists to avoid referring to the September 11 attacks as a "terrorist attack" when reporting on the event, according to internal documents obtained by the New York Post. The directive comes amid broader discussions about language use in media coverage of historical tragedies. Critics argue the phrasing could downplay the nature of the events, while the broadcaster maintains it reflects an effort to maintain consistency in terminology. The move has sparked debate over how news organizations frame significant historical moments.
