Le Soleil
Founded in 1896, Le Soleil is a major French-language newspaper serving Quebec City and the surrounding region. Now operated as a worker-owned cooperative, it provides comprehensive coverage of local politics, culture, and sports, transitioning from its historical broadsheet roots to a modern digital-first news platform.
MEDIA LANDSCAPE IN QUEBEC
The newspaper landscape is heavily shaped by a split between major French-language metropolitan dailies and a network of regional community publications. Operating as a fully digital edition, La Presse remains a primary francophone news source, while the tabloid-format Le Journal de Quebec serves as a dominant daily under Quebecor ownership. Serving surrounding municipalities, titles like the historic weekly Le Canada Francais and the English-language Laval News provide dedicated local coverage. Paperboy lists 30 newspapers in Quebec.
