Information flow and definition of democracy in some Quebec municipalities. Views of elected municipal officials and some key players. Based on semi-directed interviews and documentary observations, this article highlights how municipal elected officials, journalists, and communications officers conceive of the information flow and define democracy in three municipalities located on the outskirts of Montreal. Our findings do not corroborate a poor flow of information, as is often presented in the literature. They do indicate, however, that elected officials’ conception of democracy is based on a personalization of relations with citizens that undermines the diversity of information, depoliticizes the municipal scene, and limits the role of the elected official.
