Vancouver Sun legislative reporter Jim Beatty is making the leap to the small screen. In an interview, Mr. Beatty, who has been with the newspaper for almost ten years, confirmed he has been hired as CTV's legislative bureau chief. That position has been vacant since Ed Watson left to become CH Television's anchor. When asked for his thoughts on leaving the Sun, Mr. Beatty said, "I've spent my entire career in newspapers...And I'm really excited about taking things in a different directions: to tell stories using real people rather corporate heads and politicians. I'm excited about learning a new skill and craft but continuing to stay in journalism."
