“Without your work, this would be a much more poorly informed country, one without a real ability to see and understand what our fellow citizens are living through. You should all be very proud of that.” Meurice also gave special thanks to Baillie for “teaching me the mysterious ways of CP” and described her as a master at managing coverage of breaking news stories.
Kirk noted in his memo that the process to find the next editor-in-chief will begin shortly and, in the meantime, Baillie will report to him directly. The Canadian Press supplies a variety of content – text, audio, picture and graphics – to newspapers, broadcasters and online portals across the country.
