Le Journal de Québec
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 that began in April 2007, the longest running lockout for a french-language newspaper in the history of Canada.
As a answer to the lockout, the workers, members of the Canadian Union of Public Employees, launched their own free daily newspaper, MédiaMatin Québec.[1] [2]
