I sipped my coffee and nibbled on a croissant as I listened to a longtime editor of the France-Antilles, Martinique’sMartinique only daily newspaper, explain the pros and cons of the new building into which the paper’s staff had recently moved. This chapter examines the ways local journalists in the French Caribbean island of Martinique talk about their move from a humble old building to a prominent new one (the Tour Lumina). The analysis highlights the ways that something that could be seen as an upgrade—a move to a new-construction building with air conditioning, an ocean view, and staffed, secure entrances—can also represent a new challenge for journalists seeking to build relationships and signal closeness with their surrounding communities.

摘要

I sipped my coffee and nibbled on a croissant as I listened to a longtime editor of the France-Antilles, Martinique’sMartinique only daily newspaper, explain the pros and cons of the new building into which the paper’s staff had recently moved. This chapter examines the ways local journalists in the French Caribbean island of Martinique talk about their move from a humble old building to a prominent new one (the Tour Lumina). The analysis highlights the ways that something that could be seen as an upgrade—a move to a new-construction building with air conditioning, an ocean view, and staffed, secure entrances—can also represent a new challenge for journalists seeking to build relationships and signal closeness with their surrounding communities.
