That would be interesting. But CBC absolutely hates public engagement. Plus I cringe at the thought of 75% of the CBC budget being spent on content moderation.
Why doesn’t the Tyee start their own Mastodon server?

Theoretically, could they outwardly federate only? For example, they make a post which gets pushed out to other instances, but they would set their instance to not allow any external posts or comments to be federated into their instance, and they could close registrations. That way, the rest of the Fediverse could follow and interact with their content, and they wouldn’t have to deal with moderation. I’m not sure if that’s really how federation works, so please correct any inaccuracies.
I disagree. They should spend less on flashy nonsense (expensive sets) and scripted drama/comedy, but they should set and maintain journalistic standards among professionals. The internet provides enough citizen journalism. We need professionals with dedicated beats, anchors and analysts who really know their domains, long-form journalism and documentaries. Professionalism more than ever. It’s seriously lacking.
So you want something like a PBS of the internet (or public access), rather than a CBC. Maybe somebody should make a Canadian Media Fediverse Syndicate or something like that. Maybe you could do it! I don’t want to moderate that kind of thing though. I want CBC to focus on news. It’s important that we get information.

So it’s their own private instance that people view from the outside. This might be a reasonable way to publish.

Yeah I think that could work. It would depend on other instances federating, but I think they could count on that happening.
Arguably they already do that on their website’s content moderation.
