Yes, that's correct. I think there's too much power concentrated in the professional reporters and not enough listening for what's important to the public in general. That's why the Internet is so successful: a lot of young people prefer to go to blogs and other websites because they can reply, and in some cases they can add their news. I think the CBC is missing a way for people to express their own interests rather than just being told what is news today.
It is possible, because community television is doing it. If community television, which is basically privately owned, is doing it, why is it that the CBC cannot do it? I have several times brought in my tapes to the CBC. I phone them and they say yes, just drop it at the front desk, direct it to some reporter, and I never hear back from them. I feel disempowered. CBC is like God talking from above.
