JONATHAN DUBE APPOINTED EDITORIAL DIRECTOR, CBC.CA

I'm delighted to announce Jonathan Dube, an award-winning journalist and leader in the online news industry, will be taking on the role of Editorial Director for CBC.ca. He will join us in late July.

Jonathan comes to CBC from Seattle, where he is currently managing
producer of MSNBC.com. He is also a columnist with the Poynter Institute
in Florida; a board member of the Online News Association; and the founder and publisher of CyberJournalist.net, a resource site about the online news industry.

I'm very pleased, and consider it testimony to CBC.ca's many recent
successes, that we have been able to attract a journalist and industry
leader of Jonathan's calibre.

The Editorial Director is a new position at CBC.ca, and creating it is a
critical step as we continue to invest in increasing quality and service
to the online audience. In this role, Jonathan will be responsible for all
CBC.ca's editorial programming, including our news, arts and sports
sections.

Before becoming managing producer at MSNBC.com, Jonathan was the site's senior producer and technology editor. Prior to that, he was a national producer for ABCNEWS.com, where he covered the Columbine High School shootings, the Microsoft antitrust trial and the World Trade Organization protests in Seattle. He has also written for the Columbia Journalism Review, the Washington Monthly, the Charlotte Observer and contributed to several journalism books. In 1998, while at the Observer, he provided blog coverage of Hurricane Bonnie, which was the first time a news site had used the blogging format to cover breaking news.

In 2000, he won the Online News Association's first Online Journalism
Award for Breaking News, for his coverage of the WTO protests. He has also won four online journalism awards and two investigative reporting awards from the Society of Professional Journalists, as well as the first-ever new media award from Columbia University. He has a BA from Wesleyan University in Middleton, Connecticut, and an MA in journalism from the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism.

Please join me in congratulating Jonathan, and welcoming him to CBC.ca.
