Le Journal de Québec

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Le Journal de Québec is a French-language daily newspaper in Quebec City, Quebec (Canada). The newspaper is printed in tabloid format and has a the highest circulation for a Quebec-city newspaper with its closest competitor being Le Soleil.

Like its sister-paper (the much more widely-read Le Journal de Montréal), it was established by Pierre Péladeau and is owned by the Sun Media division of Quebecor Média.

There is currently, as of March 2008, a lockout of unionized employees (members of the Canadian Union of Public Employees) that began in April 2007, the longest running lockout for a French-language newspaper in the history of Canada.

As an answer to the lockout, the workers launched their own free daily newspaper, MédiaMatin Québec.[1] [2]
