Neither C stands for Communications II

Although I've already commented on the post directly: In response to Paul Gor[b], recent guest writer of Inside the CBC, if there is a communications problem with regard to CBC it is not for lack of resources.

For starters, and these are only what's been made available for inside/outside communications, there are

alt.radio.networks.cbc (google group)

alt.tv.networks.cbc (google group)

CBC@pbca - a blog for ANYONE who wants to talk about the CBC (no takers to date)

The
CBC Blogging Manifesto

cbcwatch - Exposing the Bias

Circles
Around the Square

del.icio.us/pbca/cbc

Inside
the CBC (and a longer list of blogs there)

THE
STROUMBOULOPOULI (a strombo fan site)

The Tea Makers

TV, Eh? What's Up in Canadian TV

the CBC Love Myspace (and you will doubtless recognize some of the folks in the Friends section such as Strombo, Jill Deacon, ...

A brand spanking new Google Group for discussing all things CBC.

There is also this which allows you to view a collection of these things at a glance and/or have them email to you, moved to your Yahoo or Google account, RSS reader etc.,

And any number of other things that you can find by following these links. I'm afraid if you're in the CBC and your message isn't getting out, or if you're outside the CBC and your message isn't getting in - it pretty much needs to be chalked up to lack of effort now. The mechanisms are all there, but few are taking advantage of them.

If, on the other hand, you're waiting for someone 'who's job it is' to get your message in or out: don't hold your breath. I've heard tell of such people, but I think they're a myth.

If there's something going on that people need to know about or things going on that you don't know about - It's time to either get proactive about it, or decide that it's not as important as you thought. Sadly, people seem to prefer the latter.
