Unions are preparing for “concession bargaining”

- Sylvain Larocque, economics journalist

On leaving the annual conference of the Newspaper Guild, the largest journalists’ union in North America, you could only hope for one thing: that the deep crisis in the US media would not travel north of the border unabated.

Radio-Canada (SRC) was able to reveal the names of police officers in the Villanueva case

- Lise Millette, ProjetJ

The Quebec press Council (CPQ) rejected the complaint made by the Montreal Police Service (SPVM) against Radio Canada. The SPVM condemned the identification of police officers, who were involved in the Freddy Villanueva case in August 2008 during the broadcast of Enquête on 30 October 2008. The officers claimed that this was an attack on their reputation and that such an incident could have repercussions them. The CPQ concluded that the reasoning of journalists differs from that of the police force.

The right place, at the right time - Mariève Paradis

Mariève Paradis has lived in Los Angeles for one year. As a freelance journalist, she was hoping to ply her trade there. Call it intuition, chance, or just instinct, she was at the forefront when Michael Jackson died and became a special correspondent for various media. Things moved on quickly, particularly due to Facebook. She tells us how her cover story broke, both before and after the arrival of other media.
