The Synthetic Librarian

The staff from the CBC who are currently locked-out of their jobs by CBC management, have started a website called CBC Unlocked containing their own content. It is interesting to compare the content of the CBC website with that of CBC Unlocked and Google News makes that easy. Google News Canada now indexes the CBC Unlocked content and it shows up right beside similar stories from the “official” CBC website (where news is coming from unedited feeds, management, and probably some contract sources).

In Edmonton, the CJSR radio station is carrying CBC Unlocked radio content each day and it is turning out to be a mix of interesting and not so interesting.
