Le Journal de Quebec staff locked out

Sun Media Corp. locked out 140 workers at Le Journal de Québec on Sunday.

The lockout of editorial and office staff at the Quebec City newspaper took effect amid a negotiating impasse over working conditions.

Luc Lavoie, a spokesman for Sun Media's parent company, Quebecor Inc., said the paper will continue to be published during the lockout.

Lavoie said the company is asking journalists to adapt to the changing multimedia world by providing content for the internet in different formats.
