To give you an absolutely clear answer, we would need to conduct a very thorough investigation into how Quebecor operates. It remains that how media outlets make assignments generally varies. Some journalists have a lot of freedom. That’s the case for specialized journalists. The managers in the press room must deliver a media product. Every day, if not every hour since the advent of the Internet, they must produce. So, there is a hierarchy that I would describe as local, confined to the editing room. In some cases, orders may come from headquarters. But it’s difficult to document because the real firewall is often between the hierarchical levels.
You spoke earlier about advertising. The journalists must always be protected from these business aspects because, in fact, they work for the public, for the public interest. Of course, they are paid by a media outlet, but their first boss is the public’s right to information.
