With respect to journalists, newsrooms are smaller, there have been budget cuts and job losses. I have two questions for you in this regard.
Is this the reason—as I believe—for the greater number of syndicated or affiliated articles, such as those from the Canadian Press? I see the same article several times in the various newspapers I read, and the Canadian Press is often the source. Is this another type of consolidation? Newspaper newsrooms can be consolidated even if they have different readerships, and consolidation is also achieved with news agencies, which is what Quebecor has done with QMI.
Is this a reaction and the lesser of possible evils rather than having Canadian information sources, even if they are consolidated?
