This article examines the stories told by employees in a 160-year-old newspaper production and publishing company, the Courier. Over 100 interviews with employees of the newspaper company (past and present) were carried out over a six-year period during which the Courier was undergoing major change, including the move from a local to a national newspaper. In this article, I organize these stories into four narrative constructions (‘paternalism’, ‘profit’, ‘career’ and ‘cynicism’) which represent different ways of thinking about organizations, variously emphasizing family and community, competition and prohibition, publicity and success, and injustice and deception.
