CBC News in Halifax did violate policy because it published wrong information. Accuracy is the cornerstone of all journalistic endeavours.
There was another violation of policy. The Journalistic Standards and Practices policy on corrections says:
- Any changes to the original material will be noted to preserve the transparency of the process.
This was more than an update. There should have been a corrections box.
