I suppose this is good news. Does it mean CBC has taken another step of “accepting” this site as part of the landscape? I hope this acceptance into the “official CBC employees’ intranet” won’t affect negatively your freedom to blog whatever you see as important. Good luck.

By the way, can CBC employees comment freely on this blog? What is CBC’s policy on employees commenting and blogging?

Hi Kempton,

As far as I’m concerned, it won’t change the way I write. And CBC employees are ENCOURAGED to comment freely! I’d hoped more of us would. CBC’s policy doesn’t prevent any employee from posting.

Hi Tod,

Great to hear you won’t change the way you write. And it is also good to hear that “CBC employees are ENCOURAGED to comment freely!”

Here is my thoughts on employees commenting and blogging. I think Sun Microsystem (a Fortune 500 company) is one of the most open company in the area of employees blogging. And may be CBC can learn something from Sun.

As an example, the blogs of Sun’s President and COO (Jonathan Schwartz)
http://blogs.sun.com/jonathan/
and General Counsel (Mike Dillon)
http://blogs.sun.com/dillon/
have been on my must read blog list for a while now.

And Sun’s employees’ blogging policy/advice seems to strike the right tone, balance and sensibility to me. And this may be a great starting point for CBC to lay out something similar.

Here I counted 8 people with the word Chief or President in their title blogging at Sun. http://www.sun.com/aboutsun/media/blogs/

Finally, I am looking forward to the day that the heads of CBC and some other big Canadian companies will move forward to the blog age where our shared wisdom is networked.

Just my 2 cents, nothing more.

Kempton
