Dozens of prominent Radio-Canada personalities are urging their employer to fight back against a recent CRTC decision ordering the public broadcaster to apologize over the on-air use of the N-word.

The journalists, hosts and commentators say in an open letter published in La Presse that last week’s decision threatens journalistic freedom and independence and opens the door to censorship.
