- Abstract
- (en) Both the Brussels Lockdown and Brussels terror attacks generated substantial coverage from traditional French-speaking Belgian news organizations, notably on their websites. These two periods were characterized by a sharp rise and significant restructuring in their website audience. Based on two rounds of semi-structured interviews with nine news websites editors, this article looks into the role played by the Web in the Lockdown and attacks coverage by traditional French- speaking Belgian newsrooms, both from an organizational perspective and from a content production angle. Our analysis has highlighted a paradox: newsrooms try to deal with the demand for immediacy with a web first policy, but little additional human resources can be allocated to Web in “traditional” newsrooms during a crisis.
