Media turmoil in Quebec
The locked-out workers of Quebec’s largest circulating newspaper, Le Journal de Montreal decided to create their own website (named after the street name of its newspaper), and setup shop across the street from the head office, while it continues to picket. Quebecor is a media giant which runs its own successful website (which is basically a collection of all its newspapers across Canada). Here’s the story from the Toronto Star. They also are launching a $1.99 iPhone app, if you can believe it.
It’s fascinating (as an outsider) to watch the tornado sweeping newspapers across North America, and how (at least in one case) employees are not sitting down waiting for the explosion before reacting. Whether this is a viable way to earn a living, who knows. But, you gotta love the entrepreneurial spirit here.
