CANADA - back to normal "Journal de Montreal"?

A newspaper without journalists, so it's possible. Le Journal de Montreal proven for over two years. Population contrefout it royally and still consume (this is the right word) this source of information maganée [ailing], without shame or remorse. The draw for the Journal de Montreal has even increased during the twenty-five-month labor dispute.

[A study of the database on the readership of daily newspapers published in October 2010, Le Journal de Montreal remains the most widely read newspaper in Montreal, with a total weekly readership (print and online) about 1.3 million readers, 41% of the regional population.] It is often said that a company has the media it deserves.

It can also reverse the proposal: the media have finally that the society they deserve. That will change the new agreement approved Saturday night? In a few weeks, once the protocol has triggered the return to work, Le Journal de Montréal will be produced by a newsroom of 42 employees, reporters, console [assistant editor] and photographers.

[In 2009, management of the Journal of Montreal launched a procedure against the lockout writing to impose a new labor contract. Saturday, February 26, the union of the Journal de Montreal voted against the heart of the latest proposals for employers.] They were twice as likely at the onset of labor dispute in January 2009.

Survivors include two dozen journalists, reporters, less than the duty that has ten times fewer readers. A newspaper without frames too, so it's possible. As well another lesson here neglected this conflict: since 266 days, the most popular French-language daily in America is actually published without a boss room, or just like.

The Peter Principle applies everywhere. In the media, a boss, basically he is a former more or less good reporter converted Monitor reporters more or less competent. Journal de Montreal for two years instead of monitor and punish the former small bosses are busy writing articles, sort of requests for access to information, write columns.

In short, managers do the work of locked out, but they are not their own, proving that even unnecessary. So, why keep them? The temptation to turn to thank them in large numbers must strongly tapping the very large employers, now that the conflict is over. Good evening boys yes-man, thank you for the dirty job in the room, but we will not remind you, that's all.

On 26 February, after the general meeting, the very worthy president of the Syndicate of Workers of the log information of information of the Journal de Montréal had this honest answer about frames: "Yes, I blame them, Raynald Leblanc said. Journal de Quebec, after the labor dispute, the return was very difficult, and I think the return will be equally painful to the Journal de Montreal.

"Part of the explanation for the dismissal of executives seems predictable concentrated there. To keep at least a veneer of seeming labor relations minimally necessary, senior management of Quebecor will likely mutate, or even dismiss, some middle managers. Strict accounting logic provides another justification unstoppable.

Quebecor has hired new executives in anticipation of the conflict. They are activated to produce tens to the daily. Why the company would retain it all, now what remains is the basic cost?
