Several editorial errors have been found in the bctv news global. They include errors in the presentation of the RCMP chopper that circles overhead, a CHAN and Baton Broadcasting relationship, and a’secret’ plan to bring back the CBC. In addition, the bctv news global has also been accused of not providing enough information in regards to the Vancouver Olympics.
Craig Oliver
CBC News Global is in need of a good reporter. That reporter is Craig Oliver. This renowned Canadian journalist has been a major player in the world of Canadian news since the 1970s. He has reported on some of the most important stories of the day. He has forged relationships with politicians of all stripes and has had the opportunity to cover every national election.
After graduating from the University of Regina, Oliver went on to work for CBC Radio. He then worked at a CBC owned affiliate, CFPR-AM, as a legislative reporter. During his tenure there, he became personal friends with the late Prime Minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau. He also studied history and English. He later moved to Toronto.
David Halton
During his illustrious career, David Halton has carved out a place in the media lexicon for himself. From his days as a news anchor at TSN to his time as a reporter at CHCH Hamilton, he’s been at it for quite some time. And he’s mastered a few of the most interesting media roles in the process.
David Halton’s media career began in the early ’80s, and he’s been a fixture on the Vancouver scene for the past three decades. As a reporter, he’s covered everything from hockey to golf. He also served as a senior producer at Global Vancouver and a technical director for the CBC’s arts and culture department. And he was a speech writer for former U.S. President George W. Bush.
Barbara Frum
Among the most prominent Canadian journalists in recent years, Barbara Frum was a fixture of CBC television and radio. Her career spanned more than two decades, and she interviewed dozens of world leaders. She also wrote columns for national newspapers and wrote a television column for Saturday Night magazine. She was a recipient of numerous awards for her work. She also hosted the CBC’s television program “The Journal,” which aired until her death.
A native of Niagara Falls, N.Y., Frum began her journalism career as a freelance writer for CBC radio programs. In 1971, she was hired as one of the first hosts of a new CBC-radio program, As It Happens. As It Happens was an innovative newsmagazine show, which used the latest electronic news gathering technology to deliver live interviews to the CBC audience. The show focused on social issues stories, as well as quirky human-interest stories.
Diana Swain
Throughout her career as a Canadian journalist, Diana Swain has reported on a variety of stories. She has a reputation for discovering and presenting compelling interviews. She has won multiple awards for her work and her reporting has been instrumental in changes to legislation in several Canadian provinces.
Swain began her career in 1988, when she co-anchored an evening newscast on CKND, an independent station in Winnipeg. In 2003, she joined the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s investigative unit in Oakville, Ontario. She later moved to Toronto to report for the network’s Disclosure program.
Ian Haysom
During his time at CHAN-TV’s “BCTV News on Global” in Victoria, Ian Haysom was news director. He was the first western journalist to tour the Yangtze River Gorge in China, and the first reporter to make a live news report from Calgary. In addition to his news duties, he also wrote regular columns for the Victoria Times-Colonist.
As of late, Haysom has been refocusing on the future. He’s been revamping his station to move it from “BC” to “CH” and to maintain the station’s dominant status in the Island.
RCMP chopper circling overhead
RCMP claims to be the world’s largest police force and this isn’t your grandfather’s cop shop. In its heyday, the agency had more than 20,000 active duty members and a few thousand reserve. Its jurisdictions span a little over a third of Canada’s total land mass and include everything from northern BC to British Columbia’s capital city, Victoria. Its largest deployment was last month, when it threw down a whopping five dozen officers to a remote logging station.
CHAN’s relationship with Baton Broadcasting
CHAN’s relationship with Baton Broadcasting is going through a change. The commission has approved Baton’s acquisition of CTV. The Commission believes that Baton is the logical choice as the controlling shareholder of CTV. CHAN’s relationship with Baton Broadcasting will help realize the network’s full potential.
Baton’s stations have already been rebranded as part of the CTV 2 system. However, the stations have dropped the individual station logos and adopted a new BBS symbol. The new logo is a more prominent logo than the CTV moniker.
Editorial errors in bctv news global
Several years ago I was fortunate enough to partake in an informative tour of the BCTV headquarters at its swanky new digs in Victoria. After being shown a few perks of the trade, I was asked if I’d like to see the other half of the office, or at least the rest of the media department. While the otsies were certainly nice to see, I was left feeling like I had just stumbled into my own personal time warp.
