CBC lockout XXVII : Notes of a blog war correspondent 7
Brief notes today, since I have a full agenda downtown at the TBC and elsewhere. I usually pick up some news on the picket line, if I hear anything, I will post, otherwise probably one commentary on a related issue this evening.
Podcast again
The Hobson and Holtz report podcast followed up their earlier report on the lockout podcasting plans in their Thursday 'cast.
I know a number of people at CBC Radio whom I respect are expressing doubts about our podcasting plans.
Well folks, in the it's already happening so you better live with it department, I suggest you listen to the whole show either live on the computer (it's an hour) or save it (right click,save target as)for later listening.
It's well produced, kind of laid back, and it welcomes contributions from its listeners, and sometimes includes items with production as well.
This may be heresy, but as I listened I had a thought. If Peter Gzowski was still around today, he would be the world's best podcaster.
(Disclosure: The podcast gives plugs to my site and to Tod Maffin).

Most of the anti-CBC comments on blogs and sites use simple, direct and not-too-nice language. Here is a site that wants the CBC back in the same way
Falling off the news agenda
When we had the meeting at Metro Hall to discuss the alternative news site, some people wanted to continue the outreach and activism effort saying the alternative news site would take away from that. Others, however, warned that we all know how fast a story can fall off the news agenda. It's already happening. I have seen nothing new under CBC on Google News since lunchtime Thursday.
