In a quick email John Cruickshank explained that his decision to leave CBC News does not reflect on the CBC. “I’m going to The Star because I want to go back to newspapers because I understand them and love them. I miss the feeling of being directly involved with a story from conception or event right to the doorstep,” Cruickshank said.
As far as the concerns about his departure he said “One of the challenges Richard [Stursberg] and I have been working on is how to create more authority and accountability in all senior roles.
I believe the things we accomplished as a team in News were extraordinary. There’s now a great leadership group, we have a great plan, an inspiring and evolving mission and a structure that has brought all the News staff together,” Cruickshank said today.

Okay. This makes sense to me. Thank you kindly, Mr. Cruickshank.
Better offer I’m guessing $$$$$$. Less chance of being laid off, not that that would happen to brass that close to the top of the food chain.
