| Descripción: | Abstract: The Castlegar Citizen, a strike newspaper published in Castlegar, B.C., from 2000 until 2005, is presented as a case study of newsworkers publishing while involved in a labour dispute with their employer. Previous experiences in publishing strike newspapers in various countries are examined, with the elements essential to their success being identified as 1) a will on the part of newsworkers and their unions to oppose increasingly powerful ownership groups, and 2) the support of local community members, including advertisers. These conditions were seen to be present in the example of the Castlegar Citizen, and it was only its small size that led to its closing, when staff members began to leave for other endeavours. Résumé : Le Citizen de Castlegar, un journal de grève publié à Castlegar, C.-B., entre l’an 2000 et 2005, est présenté comme un cas d’employés du secteur des nouvelles produisant un produit par eux-mêmes pendant un conflit avec leur employeur. Des cas semblables dans d’autres pays sont examinés, identifiant les éléments essentiels à leur succès, comme un testament de la part des travailleurs du secteur des nouvelles et de leur syndicat pour combattre les puissants groupes de propriétaires, et le support local des membre de la communauté, en incluant les commanditaires. Ces conditions semblent avoir été présentes dans l’exemple du Citizen de Castlegar. Le journal a cessé d’être publié seulement à cause de nombre limité d’employés, qui ont commencé à quitter pour d’autres opportunités. |
