Placing a dollar value on MediaScout
A unique but little-heralded force in Canada’s digital media scene, MediaScout, sent readers a survey asking how much, if anything, they would be willing to pay for the currently free daily news digest. The survey also asked if readers would tolerate advertising embedded in the news analysis that reaches their inboxes.
Like many digital publications, it is trying to work out what people might be willing to pay for.
MediaScout sends a morning run-down of the nation’s headlines to people who want to know how The National’s nightly broadcast compares to the front page of the Globe and Mail.

Global News website relaunch shows promise
Global TV News has relaunched its website with a cleaner and more streamline look and feel.
The news portal offers 1o local sites for specific regions of Canada, and brings together content from Global News and Canwest bureaus.
The new site has more multimedia features but on first impressions, Global still has some way to go to capitalise on the potential of the internet.
A timeline of the Omar Kadr case is simply a list of dates and information in text.
And Global labels some content by its correspondents as blogs, though it has none of the conventional features of a blog, such as comments or links.
As Global News itself acknowledges, “this is always a work-in-progress, so we welcome your feedback.”
