English to French: Obituary
Source text - English Joaquim Menezes, an award-winning Canadian technology journalist who helped IT World Canada take some of its first steps towards becoming a digital-first media organization, died this week. He was 48.
Menezes, who joined IT World Canada in 2004, spent most of his career covering the rise of information technology and its impact on business and society at a variety of magazines and Web sites. He also took the initiative in many of IT World Canada’s early forays into daily online reporting, the use of video and blogging as new ways to engage technology professionals.
“To be a successful journalist today you need to love storytelling, you need to love doing it in whatever medium you can and you need to be willing to work harder than anyone else to find an audience. That was Joaquim,” said Shane Schick, vice-president, content & community (editor-in-chief) at IT World Canada. “He had an incredible work ethic and a passion to contribute to our organization that never flagged, even in the last months of his life.”
Before developing cancer and taking a leave of absence, Menezes had been senior online editor at IT World Canada, offering insight to multimedia journalism across all brands but specifically focusing on the day-to-day operations of ITBusiness.ca, a Web site aimed at small and medium-sized businesses. Under Menezes’ leadership, ITBusiness.ca won its first Canadian Online Publishing Award for best online-only site in 2010.
“He was fiercely independent and loved the written word as much as his adoration for anything technology-related,” said Fawn Annan, president and group publisher at IT World Canada. “He was a very private man, never complaining and always generous with a warm smile and a sparkle in his eyes.”
Menezes started his IT journalism career in the late 1990s as a writer at Plesman Communications where, as a senior writer for Computing Canada, he quickly distinguished himself for his stories about enterprise resource planning systems and sophisticated business applications. He then spent several years at Porter Novelli Canada, but continued to focus more on writing and editing than pitching stories to other journalists. Among his projects was PC Advisor, a quarterly publication produced for HP Canada that reached more than 12,000 Canadian businesses.
At IT World Canada, Menezes also edited CIO Government Review, a publication that focused on IT strategies for all three levels of the Canadian government. He also helped develop ITWorldCanada.com from a relatively static site with information about its print publications into an electronic daily, developing its first blogs and guidelines for external contributors.
Menezes is survived by his wife Lorraine and his extended family.
Translation - French Joaquim Menezes, journaliste canadien primé expert en technologie et ayant permis à IT World Canada de devenir la première entreprise médiatique numérique, est décédé cette semaine à l’âge de 48 ans.
M. Menezes, qui s’est joint à IT World Canada en 2004, a consacré presque toute sa carrière à couvrir l’évolution de la technologie de l’information et de son impact sur les entreprises et la société, en collaborant à une variété de magazines et de sites Web. On lui doit également les premières incursions de IT World Canada dans le journalisme quotidien en ligne, l’utilisation de la vidéo et du blogage comme nouvelles façons d’intéresser les experts en technologie.
« Pour réussir dans ce métier aujourd’hui, il faut aimer raconter des histoires et utiliser tous les médias à sa portée, puis être prêt à travailler plus fort que quiconque pour se construire un public. Cela correspond en tous points à Joaquim, a dit Shane Schick, vice-président, contenu et groupement (rédacteur en chef) à IT World Canada. Il avait une éthique professionnelle incomparable et une volonté indéfectible d’apporter sa contribution à notre entreprise, même dans les derniers mois de sa vie. »
Avant d’être frappé par le cancer et de prendre un congé de maladie, M. Menezes occupait le poste de rédacteur en chef en ligne principal à IT World Canada, offrant son expertise en journalisme multimédia dans tous les secteurs, mais en se consacrant tout particulièrement aux activités quotidiennes de ItBusiness.ca, site Web à l’intention des petites et moyennes entreprises. Sous le leadership de M. Menezes, ITBusiness.ca a remporté en 2010 son premier prix COPA (Canadian Online Publishing Award) pour le meilleur magazine d’information diffusé exclusivement en ligne.
« Il était très indépendant et aimait autant l’écriture que tout ce qui touchait à la technologie, a indiqué Fawn Annan, présidente et éditrice du groupe IDG à IT World Canada. C’était un homme très réservé et généreux, au sourire chaleureux et aux yeux brillants qui, de surcroît, ne se plaignait jamais. »
M. Menezes a commencé sa carrière en journalisme technologique à la fin des années 90 comme rédacteur à Plesman Communications, où, à titre de rédacteur principal pour Computing Canada, il s’est rapidement distingué grâce à ses écrits sur les systèmes de planification des ressources de l’entreprise et autres applications d’affaires sophistiquées. Il a ensuite travaillé plusieurs années à Porter Novelli Canada, mais a préféré se concentrer sur l’écriture et la rédaction plutôt que de proposer des sujets d’articles à d’autres journalistes. Le magazine PC Advisor, publié trimestriellement pour HP Canada et dont le lectorat se compose de plus de 12 000 entreprises canadiennes, faisait partie des projets de M. Menezes.
À IT World Canada, M. Menezes rédigeait également le CIO Government Review, publication vouée aux stratégies de TI des trois paliers du gouvernement canadien. Il a aussi participé à la transformation de ITWorldCanada.com, site relativement statique originalement destiné à la promotion des publications écrites de IT World Canada, en un quotidien électronique; il y a développé les premiers blogues et a élaboré des marches à suivre à l’intention de collaborateurs externes.
M. Menezes laisse dans le deuil sa femme, Lorraine, ainsi que les membres de sa famille élargie.
