« J’me suis laissé presser comme un citron »

Abstract

The author conducted a qualitative study to investigate the sociological, relational, and socio-political causes of the mental health issues experienced by Québec journalists. The study seeks to add to the meager body of literature on the subject for Québec and the rest of Canada and adopts a comprehensive approach drawn from clinical sociology, which pays particular attention to working conditions and the ways in which they’re experienced. The author presents and analyzes the results of ten semi-structured interviews with journalists who have a good awareness of mental health issues.
