CBC News Wants Your Ideas
If you get bored over the holidays, you could spend some time thinking about how to improve CBC News. The guys in charge of the CBC News renewal process are asking for your submissions, “We want you to bring your ideas to the table, share them with your colleagues, and ultimately have an opportunity to experiment.”
So if you have ideas for new treatments and formats, how to changes the audience’s perception of CBC News, and how to build a new audience; send them along to newsrenewal@cbc.ca.
There are a bunch of more details on the specifics here (you’ll need a CBC user id to log in). Right now they are concentrating on The National, World Report, Newsworld, local service and CBCNews.ca.

What’s with the weird IO portal login – never seen that before. My CBC userid on it doesn’t work either – and there’s no way to register.
How to improve the CBC news website: Filter out all the hateful, stupid, hurtful, and useless comments.
Try telling the truth!
Even if it hurts the UNION!

It’s the employee intranet. To register, find something you like the look of on cbc.ca/jobs and submit a resume.
How on earth cane you have a muslim reporter on cbc news reporting on Israel’s bombing terrorist sights in Jerusalem.Get a grip and some guts for the love of Mike!Boot them out before the boot you out.
Don’t mind the “Muslim” thing at all…Do mind the pronounciation of Baghdad as something like “Buug-dad” That’s just showing off!
I’m seriosly wondering if Ms. Calder is a troll. Her theory would mean the Brian Stewart had no business reporting on Ethiopia in the 80′s or most of our senior anchors culd only speak about middle-aged, male caucasian suburbanite issues.
But I really think CBC shold re-think all this Magidized “Breaking News” weather-weather-weather attitude. Most markets are already flooded with “Action News” channels and I’d like to see the national channel be more national and also provide meat rather than junk food.
Bring back more in-depth reporting and emphasize more stories and inter-reporting from all across Canada.
Yeah, it will cost more up-front. It means funding Current Affairs more, even with the consistent cutbacks old stalwarts like the Fifth Estate still produce some outstanding and in-depth reportage.
I’ve mentioned it elsewhere (albeit in a humourous way) but learn from Radio-Canada. A show like “Tout le monde en parle” could be created with simultaneous panels from all across Canada discussing both pop culture and real issues from a pan-Canadian viewpoint.
Mind you, I’m not a newsguy, I just watch them on tv….all day…every day…on a hundred different televisions.
An idea as a high pred for dragons den …I think it might make it more dynamic.It also could be president setting in corprate discloure laws. If this happened it would stimulate trust in the corporate system and thats what I beleive will get peoples attention. After the ideas set the show can now lead a continous monotorig of the success of the ideas chosen…Show the process of getting the idea to the market place and what it takes and as ideas are chosen on the show the viewers could log on and see the on going progress and even might choose to invest! ect… If interested in concept my name is martin and Im in your arcives. actra #T04-15638
I channel surfed this new years eve. stuck at home, no problem, had fun!! CNN or FOX had a good time, but what about our canadian programing!!! Nothing, are we a bunch of watchers!!! sad right.
As someone who is neutral in the Isreali conflict, I find CBC ‘s reporting to be biast. Why have we not heard throughout the year of 2008 about all of the rockets fired into Isreal on a daily basis. And to all of the inocent people who are caught in the middle of this conflict- thats what you get for electing a terrorist group. Did you expect anything dfferent??
I would like to see dates at the top of each blog and comment so I can know when they were posted. Unless I’m missing something, I can’t tell when the satellite truck was crashed into (as an example). I can make the assumption of ‘recently’ as applicable for most of these comments, but I’ve learned about the dangers of assumptions by reading other people’s posts.
Educate people what unions are about, why they came into existence and why labour rights are considered human rights. Show what good works our Unions do all over the world. Canadians are far too ignorant of our history, esp. labour history and First Nations history. Most of all, get rid of Peter Mansbridge. He’s too prejudiced against social justice. Also, I really resent seeing corporate-sucking scribes like Vaughn Palmer and Andrew Coyne on our national TV.
I’d like to see more homegrown news reports, seems like everyone has a camera and editing these days, why not let the people generate some real news items that they really care about? Not just the ‘news industry’ type of material, who cares if it’s ‘perfectly’ executed, let the Canadian people participate more in the whole process, —and living in a small town outside of a major center with very few murders and such, means no real mention in the news…why the fascination with blood and gore? If I was interested in that I’d watch arts and entertainment channel (LOL), thanks.
When will the CBC finally create an app for the ipod touch and the iphone, I can use the guide at http://www.cbc.ca/iphone/ but I find it of little use. Someone created a ‘widget’ for ‘MS Vista’ that allows me to access many cities across Canada, why can’t you?
What would it take but a few of my dollars to have someone code an application that allows me to listen to ‘what is remaining of the CBC’
Come on, get with it, the 21st century is already here, join in before it passes you by!
Would love to give some input, but need more details first. Alas, no access to iO!, being that I’m not with the ceeb (still waiting for something in the local centre)
You could improve your 9pm to 10pm news if you didn’t show the dumb commercial from Greypower with that women yelling in her car. You showed it 8 times in the hour that is a bit much I would say. I feel like quitting watching CBC it is so annoying.
