Oh happy day! Public Eye, the new non-opinionated, non-ombudsman, non-blog ombudsman blog from CBS News, launched this morning. Providing "unprecedented transparency" into the workings of a broadcast news organization, Public Eye will serve as a team of independent reporters, getting CBS correspondents, producers, and executives to talk about how editorial decisions are made within the organization, and it will also examine larger media issues.

And they're working hard up on 57th Street, with three posts up already this morning. With an average lenth of 1,220 words.

Because that's how much we want to read about the making of news shows we don't watch in the first place.
