Bell Media announced Tuesday it is regrouping its Quebec news content and radio teams under the leadership of Suzane Landry, the media company’s vice president of content development, programming and news for Quebec.
“Our Quebec team members are our best assets in this market, and this new structure enables us to maximize our strengths by bringing together the expertise of the News and Radio [teams] in Quebec under the leadership of Suzane Landry,” Stewart Johnston, senior vice president of content and sales at Bell Media, said in a statement. “This change provides the opportunity to work more collaboratively, optimize resources, and support growth across our platforms.”
The restructuring will see all of Bell Media’s Quebec journalists working as part of a collaborative newsroom in the province, a Bell Media press release explains. This includes the company’s French-language news service Noovo Info, including radio journalists from Rouge and Énergie, English-language news service CTV News Montreal, English-language news talk radio station CJAD in Montreal, and the team from digital platform Noovo Moi.
“This unified newsroom becomes one of the largest in Quebec and strengthens Bell Media as a major contributor to news journalism in the province,” the press release says.
Bell Media also announced its Quebec music radio stations — CHOM, Virgin, Énergie and Rouge — are combining to create a single team.
“This new approach brings together the expertise of team members across the stations to bolster Bell Media’s leading portfolio of audio brands in Quebec and better position them for future growth,” Bell Media says in its release.
