Global News has announced that it is sending five of its journalists to foreign bureaus to report for Global National. This follows a similar move a while back to open foreign bureaus for the Canwest News Service print and web news wire. Among them are two Montrealers (and ex-Global Quebec reporters), Stuart Greer (in London) and Ben O'Hara-Byrne (in Beijing), as well as weekend Global National anchor Tara Nelson (in London).
(Full disclosure: I work for The Gazette, which is owned, along with Global, by Canwest.)
