How about, other broadcasters for a comment on the Canwest decesion and how they are dealing with the general downturn in the industry? Or perhaps a journalism school teacher to talk about prospects for graduates, or some readers and viewers who will actually be affected.(other businesses might call them clients!) You may also want to speak with people from the industries that are causing Canwest to make this decesion.(Google, You Tube, Yahoo) Or how about a stock broker to explain how Canwest shares went from 12-bucks to shit in a year.
The world at large does have an opinion, Canwest just doesn't have a clue.

Globe and Mail: "Ha! Suckers. Shoulda taken that buyout in 2006..."

Aspers: [unprintable]

world at large: [no opinion]

Let's see........Canwest announces job cuts.....Canwest reports on jobcuts.....Canwest spokesman quoted on story about jobcuts......staff have been cutback at television stations and newspapers across the country. Viewership is down...readership is in decline. And the solution is....... to offer less!
