- Title
"A Huge Culture Change": Newsrooms at La Presse and The Montreal Gazette Reflect on the Shift to Digital-First.
- Authors

- Abstract
Using newsroom interviews conducted in 2010 and 2013, this study1 looks at how reporters and editors in two Montreal newsrooms-the Anglophone paper The Montreal Gazette and the Francophone paper La Presse-described their shifting roles and work practices when both outlets were accelerating their transition from a print to digital-first focus. The interviews reveal that the workplace disruptions experienced by these newsworkers are typical of recent trends in the newspaper industry. However, 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.
