WINNIPEG, July 18 /CNW/ – CanWest Global Communications Corp. President and CEO, Leonard Asper, today announced the retirement of Mr. Peter D. Viner, President and CEO, Canadian Operations, of CanWest MediaWorks Inc.

On behalf of the J-Source
On behalf of the J-Source editorial team, I’d just like to say a word of enthusiastic welcome to the community that has formed around Canadian Journalist in the past couple of years.
My colleagues and I are thrilled that Deb and Greg have decided to join forces with our efforts to provide a place where journalists and those who love journalism will share news, opinions and resources, tell the stories behind their stories, think about ethics, law and best practices, and seek advice.
With Deb and Greg as moderators, J-Source’s Town Hall will, we hope, provide an even bigger, more active place for the kind of thoughtful discussion that has kept us, like other CJ readers, coming back to CanadianJournalist.ca for these past years.
