| Descripción: | Abstract: This paper undertakes a case study into the impact of corporate concentration on the newsroom at CKCK (CTV) Television in Regina, Saskatchewan. By comparing the newsgathering operation from the late 1980s with the one in operation today, changes to the organizational and technological structure of CKCK Television are pinpointed with respect to the effects on the work lives of journalists. This is accomplished through interviews with past and present employees and by observing the newsroom environment as it exists today. Through an assessment of daily work structures and the controls that are institutionally imposed, the manner in which journalists serve the public good is considered and questioned. Résumé : Cet article entreprend une étude de cas sur l’impact qu’a eu une convergence d’entreprises sur la salle des nouvelles de la station de télévision CKCK (CTV) à Régina au Saskatchewan. En comparant la collecte de l’information dans les années 1980 à celle de nos jours, l’article souligne comment les changements apportés à la structure organisationnelle et technologique de CKCK ont modifié le travail des journalistes. L’article atteint ce but au moyen d’entretiens avec des employés, tant anciens qu’actuels, et de l’observation de la salle des nouvelles telle qu’elle est aujourd’hui. En évaluant les structures établies pour le travail quotidien et les contrôles imposés par la station, l’article met en question combien les journalistes aujourd’hui sont réellement libres de servir le bien commun. |
