| Title |
'A Huge Culture Change' : Newsrooms at La Presse and The Montreal Gazette Reflect on the Shift to Digital-First
|
| Abstract |
Using newsroom interviews conducted in 2010 and 2013, the author looks at how reporters and editors in two Montreal newsrooms — the Anglophone The Gazette and the
Francophone La Presse — described their shifting roles and work practices when both outlets were accelerating their transition from a print to digital-first focus. She explains that the interviews reveal that the workplace disruptions experienced by these newsworkers are typical of recent trends in the newspaper industry. However, she found that they also suggest that attitudes toward online journalism are
greatly affected by non-technical factors, which have resulted in each paper having entirely different cultures relating to online newswork. She found that La Presse newsworkers were enthusiastic about their paper’s digital strategy, while The Gazettre workers more frequently expressed frustration with, or indifference toward, online work, describing it as an addition to their already onerous workload.
