Kady O’Malley Joins CBC News
Kady O’Malley, Parliament Hill’s blog maven is leaving MacLeans to join to CBC News.
O’Malley’s has been blogging for MacLeans for the last three years, prior to that she freelanced for the Hill Times. In more than 10 years of working on the Hill she’s earned a reputation for cutting through the crap and speaking plainly about politics. O’Malley is also a geek – she prefers the term ‘blogatrix’ to describe her work – but either way O’Malley is technologically savvy and immediate - she blogs using two Blackberry’s simultaneously because there is no wireless internet coverage on Parliament.
“What I love about live blogging is that it’s kind of without a net, which means that when something happens I write what my immediate reaction is… I love the fact that it is real time,” she said in this video.
In addition to blogging at cbc.ca O’Malley will also be contributing to radio, television and online.

Congrats Kady, looking forward to your reports at CBC News.
Ms O’malley, re Iggyys shuffle, who cares other than the hangers on of the hired and fired, I follow politicics as a typical Ottawa resident and suggest my interest or lack thereof is even higher than that of anyone beyond the valley ergo, they care even less!!!
I do hope that you get out of “town” on your reporting and find that few follow Parliament. and that last year’s stories had no significance a year later.
Yes, a retrospective of your Maclean’s pieces that show that legislation and discussion are nothing against the public’s disinterest, and civil servant slowness.
