The news division of Canadian mass media conglomerate Corus Entertainment, Global News was founded in 1994 and headquartered in Vancouver. They claim to present breaking news from local communities, as well as content that puts complex world issues in perspective. Global News has 21 newsrooms throughout Canada and a network of radio stations which broadcast all-news and talk shows in their respective markets. Ad Fontes Media has rated this source in the Middle category for Bias and as Reliable, Analysis/Fact Reporting.
The first time the term “Global News” was used was in 1997 on CHQT Edmonton’s hourly news bulletins, as a name for the station’s local television newscasts. This was at a time when the rest of Canwest’s local stations across Western Canada had different newscast titles, such as “Canadian News,” “Global National” and so on.
Since then, Global has grown to be one of the largest local news organizations in Canada, with many local TV and radio stations under their umbrella brand. Locally, they produce weekday evening newscasts for Global Winnipeg, Global Regina and Global Saskatoon from their headquarters in Saskatchewan. They also produce a 10:00 pm local newscast for Global Edmonton from their studios in the city.
In addition to television, Global has also launched a news website and various social media accounts. The company’s website features the latest in news, sports and weather. There are also sections dedicated to entertainment, health and lifestyle.
While the site offers a number of features, the main draw is its live streaming. Streaming is available on both the mobile and desktop versions of the website. Streaming allows viewers to watch the show from the comfort of their own home, and it can be accessed at any time, even when the original program has already aired.
Global News is a good choice for people who want to keep up with the latest in international news. It provides a comprehensive overview of major events from around the globe, and its journalism is generally unbiased and fact-based. The only downside is that it can sometimes be difficult to navigate the site, due to a large amount of information.
The Global News approach has been applied to a wide range of studies of river export of nutrients. For example, the GLEAN model, which simulates the annual river export of nitrogen, phosphorus, carbon and silica in dissolved inorganic, organic, and particulate forms, follows the Global News methodology. The MARINA model, which assesses the coastal eutrophication potential of rivers using a watershed approach, also uses this method. A variety of other modelling approaches are also based on the Global News methodology. These include the Ecoregional Nutrient Transfer and the Integrated Land-Water Systems (ILOS) model. These models allow the nutrient input to be attributed to point and diffuse sources, and account for retention, loss, and cycling within the river system. They also take into account climatic effects, such as runoff and irrigation.
