A little more than a month after CBC reported it had hired a new managing editor, CBC is looking to fill the job again. "Norbert Poitras has decided not to continue in the managing editor role," said CBC's top official in the North, senior managing director Mervin Brass, on Friday. Poitras, a former afternoon radio show host at CBC North, started his new job overseeing all CBC North editorial content on Feb. 22. When Brass was promoted from managing editor to senior managing director six months ago, he said he was committed to hiring more Indigenous people at all levels of CBC North. A former CBC North managing editor said news organizations have an obligation to be accountable to their audiences, but that becomes challenging when personnel matters are involved.
