CBS News announces new Web strategy

CBS News has announced plans to relaunch its website as a 24-hour, on-demand broadband video news channel.

The new CBSNews.com, to debut later this summer, will include

  • The EyeBox, an on-demand video player pulling from more than 25,000 free video clips, including some yet to be shown on the broadcast network.
  • The Public Eye, a weblog edited by Vaughn Ververs, that will take readers "inside the news gathering, production and decision-making process" at CBS News.
  • More web-exclusive original reporting and commentary.
  • (Of course, a few Web cynics might note that the announcement linked to off the CBS News homepage is in... PDF.)
