When to use has been Cancelled?

If it's a recent event (yesterday, for the sake of argument), and/or the context was that there was then an explanation of what they were going to do about it, then I'd use a perfect tense "has been cancelled". If on the other hand, it happened a while ago and thus was now all in the past, I'd say "was cancelled".
