Title
Journalistic Ethics and Referendum Coverage in Montreal
Abstract
The author examines how, by the time of the 1980 referendum took place, Quebec journalism, both Francophone and Anglophone, had undergone two of the most turbulent decades in its recent history. She explains that since the 1960s news workers had been questioning not only their professional practices and their role in Quebec’s modernization process, but also the ways in which they lived and expressed their professional ethics, and how this was reflected in the coverage of the referendum on "sovereignty association."
