L'Echo Abitibien
Serving the Abitibi-Témiscamingue region for over 80 years, this publication provides comprehensive local news, community updates, and political coverage tailored to the residents of Val-d'Or and its surrounding areas.

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.
