Bell Media president Sean Cohan speaks at the inaugural Black Screen Office Symposium in Toronto in this Tuesday, April 2, 2024 handout photo. THE CANADIAN PRESS/HO - Black Screen OfficeTORONTO - Bell Media president Sean Cohan says recent layoffs and programming cuts are something he doesn't take lightly, but were necessary to accelerate the company's goals in the digital media landscape.
In an interview after the speech, Cohan said he takes issue with how layoffs across the country by parent company Bell Inc., have been characterized as “killing journalism.” Cohan said Bell Media now has “more dedicated journalists in more territories” in Canada than ever before as a result of the restructuring. The company says “CTV National News” will soon have dedicated newsgathering staff in all 10 Canadian provinces, a first for the newscast.
He said the company wants half of the English and French language programs it commissions this year to be generated by creatives from Black, Indigenous, people of colour and under-represented groups. A publicist later said Cohan misspoke and was referring to English-language commissions only.
