The aim of this article is examine the characteristics of newsrooms’ organization of Catalan local media as a part of media convergence. Data was obtained from a survey distributed among media members of the Catalan Association of Local Newspapers, with a response rate of 45%, and 19 in-depth interviews with journalists and managers of 8 media groups.
