I get a lot of news these days via twitter - following individual journo's or the feeds for reuters, bbc etc etc. Memorably during one of the Arab spring uprising someone tweeted..."I just watched a govt fall on twitter while US media was covering the X factor". That about sums up US news.;)

Aside from the local papers website, it's CBC, globe and mail, BBC, Torygraph etc etc.

I'm quite liking Sun News, the female presenters are far better looking than those on CTV or CBC.

do you mean Lyse Doucet? She's never been a CBC employee, I don't think, although she is from New Brunswick. She's a foreign correspondent for the BBC: the CBC buy in her packages once in a while. She did quite a bit of reporting from Egypt this Spring, for example, including a few segments on As It Happens, but has never hosted the programme.

You may be thinking of Mary Lou Findlay?

Haven't you got a job yet? I'm guessing not.

I was thinking of Lyse Doucet. I often listened to her on As It Happens before Sirius was invented, not knowing her stuff was bought in. When Sirius came along I stopped listening to the local station and started hearing her on the BBC. I made the erroneous assumption that she'd changed jobs when, in fact, she was never slumming. She has my unreserved apology.

I will graciously accept your apology on her behalf :). She's something of a regular on From Our Own Correspondent on BBC radio 4. I like her stuff - it's properly thoughtful journalism.

Lyse Doucet is the wife's all time ever favourite meeja person.

Mine's probably Eleanor Wachtel. I find intellect sexy.

I prefer Melissa Theuriau. Her Master's degree in Audiovisual Journalism is irrelevant.
