Looks like the Toronto Globe and Mail is looking to make the transition to a "2.0" news outlet - and they've decided to put someone in charge who knows the turf: Mathew Ingram:

As I told the senior editors at the Globe, in order for us to do this properly, we need to be committed to opening up our content in ways we haven’t even thought of — including some ways that might seem strange or contentious, and which could at least initially be met with considerable internal resistance. Among other things, we need to make it easier for people to find our content, share our content, link to our content and even make use of our content (in some cases to create their own content).

I like the sound of that - if they let Ingram run things the way I think he will, the Globe could end up being one of the most interesting news outlets in North America, Good luck, Mathew!
