Remembering two Canadian media greats
This weekend Antonia Zebisias broke her blogging silence to remember Sid Adilman, one of Canada’s best entertainment journalists. He died this past Saturday and the paper he spent so much time at, the Toronto Star, remembers him well. -

CBC locks out employees
This morning, I woke up and flipped on CBC Radio One as I normally do. Today, though, I did it primarily to see if the inevitable didn’t happen. But it did.

(The CBC is trying to attract younger listeners, but the results recent changes may not have shown up in this survey.) -
Online banking taking off
Couldn’t access Google for a little while today, so Hugh Blair (via thelist) recommend I try the Google mirror. Glad I did. -
New Tecumseth Free Press Online; Gzowski has died
J.D. Lasica’s latest OJR piece is out, and this one focuses on one-person consumer and community reporting, done with the help of the Web. For online journalism, niche reporting is where it’s at and its nice to see some light being shed on the topic, too. -
Peter Gzowski ill
