An update to the Independent Local News Fund stipulates that if Global News and CHCH News want the cash they need to do two things. From the report ...

grant calculations will include news that appears only on a station’s website — but only if the online news “relates specifically to an underserved community".

Hopefully this includes the Winipeg Icelandic diaspora.

From Broadcast Dialogue -

CRTC is adding Corus’s television stations to the list of those eligible. It will also now require ILNF recipients to make local news and information content available online and implement an incentive for original audiovisual online content reflecting equity-deserving, Indigenous, and official language minority communities.
