One of the projects CBC is undertaking across the country is a sweeping “integration” of its news-gathering resources. Rather than having separate newsrooms, assignment desks, and reporters for TV, radio, and web, CBC will now have a single source for its operations. CBC Vancouver just opened its integrated newsroom.
