Au Quebec newspaper, keeping our readers well informed has always been a priority. In order to be able to continue to offer you diversified and quality content, we must make adjustments to our business model. In particular, we are facing the new reality of the media, which includes globalized competition from web giants (GAFA) and the expanded presence of Radio-Canada, which is largely subsidized by the state.
That is why, from 2023, we will no longer publish a paper edition on Sundays.
On the other hand, your Journal Saturday will become an unmissable event that you can discover all weekend.
It will be an improved edition that you will enjoy reading not for just one day, but for the whole weekend.
Many novelties
This Saturday edition will be enriched with a multitude of content, including a brand new section on the history of Quebec, which we are also starting to publish this Saturday in the Weekend section. Several of our chroniclers who are passionate about history, but also new faces, including many historians, will contribute to it.
Starting January 7, a Complete Escape section will be added to the Weekend notebook, where several other new features will also be released.
Our Casa and Zeste notebooks will also be enhanced, just like our regular edition: you will be able to read even larger Opinion and World sections, a two-day TV schedule, as well as most of the content you used to read on sunday.
A 12-page games notebook will also be released on Saturday, in addition to our regular games.
The newspaper will be published in paper format on Sundays until December 18, but will be closed on December 25 and December 1is January, on the occasion of our usual Christmas and New Year’s Day holidays.
It is from January 7, 2023 that you will be able to discover this enriched Saturday edition, which will now accompany you all weekend.
A new reality
By introducing this new weekend edition, The newspaper follows a trend adopted by the vast majority of daily newspapers in North America, which have long since stopped printing paper newspapers on Sundays.
This will also allow us to offer some respite to our home delivery people, who work tirelessly to deliver, in the middle of the night or very early in the morning, The newspaper directly to our tens of thousands of subscribers throughout Quebec.
As you know, the news does not take time off. Rest assured that our teams will continue to inform you with great agility, in real time, on Sunday.
Indeed, you will be able to follow our journalists and not miss any of the news by consulting their reports, their texts and photos 24 hours a day. They will continue to be published regularly on our website journaldequebec.com, as well as in the QUB application and on the social networks of our platforms.
We are convinced that you will appreciate this change to our Saturday edition and this new reading experience that we will offer you.
Holiday season
As the holiday season approaches, our team has prepared a wealth of content to help you plan and take full advantage of this period of celebration, the first in nearly three years that will take place without any health restrictions related to COVID. -19.
Over the next few weeks, we will begin this review of 2022, with reports that you can read during this time of year when many of our readers take the opportunity to spend time with family or to rest.
The newspaper will always be there to inform you, to entertain you and to accompany you.
Happy Holidays!
