  CBC lockout IX: Notes of blog war correspondent 2

So I do a quick post and go grocery shopping (lots of tinned pink salmon this week) with no intention of adding to the blog today. A couple of ideas for Sunday (which you will see then).

But I get home and the alerts are there....

The Guild announcement of a national news service and the growing blog war got attention in the last hour or so. (Also note CBC posts on Technorati have gone up from 20 every four hours a day ago to 20 every three hours today)

First from Business Week

which says (permanent link) :

I'm thinking how much easier it would be to cover labor negotiations in a world of blogs. I remember sitting outside closed doors, waiting for labor and management negotiators to emerge. It wasn't always easy to find others to talk to. Today it would be a breeze.


And then there's a link to a Halifax report on Topix Media News

And Clickable Culture

And IP Democracy

And another blog to watch Parkdale Pictures, which offers A Lockout Song for each day.

I write in a renovated garret in my house in a part of Toronto, Canada, called "The Pocket." The blog is named for a tree can be seen outside the window of my garret.

About Me

My Photo
Name: Robin Rowland
Location: Toronto, Canada

I'm a Toronto-based writer, photographer, web producer, television producer, journalist and teacher. I'm author of five books, the latest A River Kwai Story: The Sonkrai Tribunal. The Garret tree is my blog on the writing life including my progress on my next book (which will be announced here some time in the coming months) My second blog, the Wampo, Nieke and Sonkrai follows the slow progress of my freelanced model railway based on my research on the Burma Thailand Railway (which is why it isn't updated that often) The Creative Guide to Research, based on my book published in 2000 is basically an archive of news, information and hints for both the online and the shoe-leather" researcher. (Google has taken over everything but there are still good hints there)
