CBS news is now partnering with foreign news Web site, GlobalPost, in order to expand their horizons in the field of foreign news.
The announcement came Monday along with a statement from the founder of Global Post, Philip S. Balboni. He stated that GlobalPost has been interested in finding a networks news partner ever since the startup of their website in January.
"Having a broadcast network partner was a high priority for us, and to be associated with CBS News is a great validation of what we are trying to build, " said Mr. Balboni. The company hopes to become an important source of international news for Americans. They believe that taking this step with CBS is a positive step in becoming a foreign news source that Americans can depend on.
CBS will pay an undisclosed monthly fee to GlobalPost. This shows their efforts in trying to bring more international news to their broadcasts. The reporters of GlobalPost will not be going directly on air for CBS as of now, but rather will be providing CBS with the information.
This could be a step in the right direction for CBS, a company that is included in a competition with other major news networks who offer both foreign and domestic news. Hopefully this decision will boost ratings and gain viewers for CBS.
