Mark Carney Slammed by Canadian Press for Giving Exclusives to American Media
What happened
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney granted exclusive interviews to The New York Times and Bloomberg News, but not to Canadian media outlets. The Times published a transcript of the interview, which was over 8,000 words long. A Canadian journalist, Terry Newman, expressed skepticism about the arrangement and suggested that Carney could have done interviews with Canadian media instead.
Why it matters
