Fagstein reports that the cyberpresse staff has stopped writing blog posts and articles, as asked by their union (Syndicat des travailleurs de l’information de La Presse) until a convention is signed with the company.
I will make it short: I think you can ask for more benefits only when you proved you did a very good job. And I have to say I have never seen an outstanding article from cyberpresse. It’s true they get the news (and more) but the analysis and insight leaves much to be desired. Like the Journal de Montréal, it seems nothing exists outside Montréal, there is no perspective for the future, and I always have the impression most of the content is second-hand information. You can post examples if you disagree, but that’s my final opinion for now.
