CBS Outsources World News
Leading the way for others CBS News has formed a partnership
with GlobalPost, a foreign news Web site, that will provide CBS
with reporting from its approximately 70 affiliated correspondents in
50 countries. Their one of the first companies experimenting with new
ways to cover foreign news. The GlobalPost is paying CBS a monthly
undisclosed fee for the site, in hopes of representing an expansion of
the news divisions’ efforts to cover the rest of the world.
“With this exclusive arrangement in place, CBS News will have
unmatched access to first-rate journalists with expert knowledge
of the countries they live in and cover.” Says Paul Friedman, the
executive vice president of CBS News.
I feel this is a good, but a very experimental move for CBS. The
outcome could go either way, a great turnout, or a waste of money
and effort. If all works out as planned, CBS will see a rise in viewers,
listeners, and hopefully profits.

I think the idea of CBS joining together with the GlobalPost is an excellent idea. It will give CBS a chance to share with the American public what is going on around the world.The fact that CBS will have "unmatched access to first-rate journalists with expert knowledge of the countries they live in and cover" is incredible. I am suprised that a news station hasn't done something such as this before. I believe that it is a great idea and will be succesful.
ReplyDeleteThis is completely brilliant, with the changing media and the competing standards it is necessary to combine forces in order to make service to costumer better. This will only be a plus for CBS, and as we all know tv stations are in need of any help they can get!
