First, I want to say that our first interest, when we try to start a new bureau, is to ensure we will have somebody who knows the local community and who will stay. We all have this interest. Whether it's local independent media, community media, the CBC or bigger media, we all want to have local people reporting on their community.
Sometimes this means we have to develop new training paths, and this can serve other media as well. We've had discussions about sharing the training capacity that we have or that we can trigger with colleges and universities to the benefit of independent and community media in the market.
Yes, we are looking to have people locally who will stay and commit to the community.
We don't approach journalists from other media. If there's a posting, we can't stop people from applying. That's a reality. We can't exclude people, but we don't approach them. There are plenty of cases in which they come to us, and eventually, they've gathered their experience and they're looking for something else. Journalists are known for wanting to gain experience through various postings. Sometimes they go to some other media in the same town or in another community. This is a situation we deal with all the time.
We are recruiting, and we are concerned about having enough professional journalists to feed all the media that are out there and want to hire them. This means trying to work with other media and colleges and universities to train more journalists. Unfortunately, a lot of them are exiting the profession because of the precarity of the circumstances.
