CBC News expands political coverage in Ottawa, U.S.


OTTAWA – CBC is beefing up its political coverage in Ottawa and the U.S. starting this Fall.

Evan Solomon will host a daily political show on CBC Newsworld, while veteran reporter Terry Milewski will move to Ottawa as CBC News’ new senior correspondent in the political bureau.

CBC News said that it will also seek to strengthen its presence in the United States with more ‘on-the-ground’ reporting and in-depth reports from that country’s most influential cities. Keith Boag becomes CBC News’ American West Coast correspondent based in Los Angeles covering the California region, following five years as CBC News chief political correspondent in Ottawa.

Susan Bonner will join the pubcaster’s Washington bureau, and David Common moves to a new position in New York City after a stint based in Paris covering stories across Europe.
