CBC News Business Section

Description:

CBC News Business Section carries the business and economic reporting of Canada's public broadcaster. It follows the Bank of Canada and inflation, jobs and labour disputes, housing, energy, trade and the results of large Canadian companies, and sets its written stories beside the television and radio coverage the broadcaster produces on the same events.

100% Free (unlimited): Every story, video clip and radio segment in the business section is open with no account and no payment, and so is the archive, because CBC is funded publicly. A free account is offered for newsletters and saved stories, and it is never required to read or listen.

How It Helps Your Business English

What this resource offers:

The page lists the day's business top stories, led by the Bank of Canada's inflation dilemma, and carries on with further reporting below. Each story shows the reporter's name and the date, and many come with a video or an audio segment from CBC television and radio. Links reach the wider news site, CBC Listen and the broadcaster's live coverage.

How to use this resource:

You get Canadian business news written in clear, careful sentences, which makes this a steady place to build economic vocabulary before moving on to the market press. Where a story has a video or a radio clip, read it first and then listen, so the same words reach you twice. Returning to one running story, such as interest rates, shows how the terms repeat.
