Michel Vézina | Fagstein

Le Devoir looks at QMI, the wire service setup by Quebecor to allow its publications to share stories (in other words, have underpaid kids at 24 Heures scab for the Journal)
Steve Proulx says Michel Vézina’s last column for ICI was edited to remove unflattering comments about management.
Michel Dumais says neither side of the conflict has come out on top in the public relations battle yet, and both are putting out an acceptable product.
Chrystian Guy says that the newspaper industry is in crisis and Quebecor has to do something about it. He adds some rapid-fire comments in another post, including the opinion that journalists should be well-paid but that “dead wood” overhead jobs (like accountants) should be eliminated. I’ll just quote him directly: “on devrait niveler les salaires par le haut, mais couper le bois mort ou mourrant”
The union is holding another general meeting next Wednesday.
