To me, what I would have liked to hear from Roger, was his idea of what "success" would look like. We could then judge how effective CBC Hamilton has been so far in terms of deploying limited resources to those ends.

I think they have done some things well: good coverage of farming/food issues, good coverage of social trends.

I think we also need to remember that most Hamiltonians still get their Hamilton news via the Spec and CHCH - how you reach a broad audience from a digital service is not clear to me, and so it is not surprising that Roger may try things that don't make sense if all you are doing is trying to reach the on-line community.

I haven't been knocked out of my chair by CBC hamilton, and I think it is worth having a public conversation about it, but I do think there needs to be a distinction between criticizing what Roger is doing, and criticizing a funding and mandate context which limits what any head of CBC Hamilton could go.
