Blogathon 2009: First look at the new CBC News

Tod Maf­fin just posted some­thing that’s help­fully top­i­cal, given a con­ver­sa­tion I was hav­ing this morn­ing after my “why the CBC sucks at info­graph­ics” post.

As part of their depress­ing cost-cutting mea­sures, the CBC news­rooms are con­sol­i­dat­ing news oper­a­tions. As Tod describes:

Rather than hav­ing sep­a­rate news­rooms, assign­ment desks, and reporters for TV, radio, and web, CBC will now have a sin­gle source for its oper­a­tions. CBC Van­cou­ver just opened its inte­grated newsroom.

Go watch Behind the Scenes at CBC Vancouver’s new “inte­grated news­room” at Tod’s site now!
