The Word of Mouth crew traveled up to Ottawa late last week to check out a great CBC program called All In a Day. While we were there, we tried to steal as many ideas from their editorial meeting as possible. One headline they discussed particularly caught our attention: An immigration official has asked everyone in his large governmental department to obey a "blackberry blackout" during off-hours. He says he hopes his directive will help employees maintain a better work/life balance.
The Ottawa Citizen has the story here.
And you can read the deputy minister's official memo here.
