About Global News
Global News is the news and current affairs division of the Canadian Global Television Network, which is owned by Corus Entertainment. Corus Entertainment acquired Global News assets in 2016 and is part of the media holdings of JR Shaw and his family.
Media Bias/Fact Check rates Global News as Left-Center Biased due to editorial positions that slightly favor the left, but assigns a High rating for factual reporting, citing proper sourcing and a clean fact-check record. AllSides also identifies Global News with a Lean Left bias. A Reuters Institute survey indicated that Global News ranks highly in trust among major English-language Canadian news providers. A past controversy in 2010 involved an 'unintentional editing error' where footage from one event was shown in a segment about another. The Canadian media environment is generally free, though Reporters Without Borders noted concerns in 2025 about economic fragility, inconsistent access to information, and harassment of journalists.
