Especially when my site was averaging 3,000+ hits a day, I expect I drove a reasonable amount of traffic to CBC news sites. I've done the same with innumerable other news organizations, Canadian and otherwise, since I started blogging about the flu in 2005. Not one has ever complained or told me to pull a post off my site. When I do hear from them, they thank me for bringing their reports to the attention of a worldwide audience with a strong interest in the subject--an audience including health experts, journalists, and government officials from Washington to Jakarta.
