CBS News is aggressively expanding its Internet capabilities to offer a 24-hour news network with a "video jukebox" that allows consumers to construct their own online newscasts, the network announced Tuesday.


The revamped CBSNews.com site also includes a Web log, "Public Eye," where CBS News executives and journalists respond to questions and complaints from the public.


The advertiser-supported Web site gives consumers free access to more than 25,000 video clips. CBS journalists will be encouraged to frequently contribute video reports to the site instead of simply waiting for the next television broadcast.


"It's increasingly clear that the future of CBS News is not just as a practitioner of broadcast journalism but of broadband journalism," CBS News President Andrew Heyward said.
