Le Journal de Québec – 1,108,394 – French
Le Journal de Québec is a French-language newspaper in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. It’s printed in smaller format and has the highest number of copies circulated among Quebec City newspapers, with Le Soleil being its closest competitor. Founded on March 6, 1967, by Pierre Péladeau, it’s owned by Quebecor Média, just like its more widely-read sister paper, Le Journal de Montréal. In April 2007, a lockout of unionized employees (members of the Canadian Union of Public Employees) began and lasted until July 2008. This lockout was the longest in the history of Quebec media up to that point. In response to the lockout, the workers launched their own free daily newspaper called MédiaMatin Québec. On November 27, 2012, Le Journal de Québec introduced a special edition for the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region, featuring several pages of local news for the area. This edition revival followed a previous Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean edition published by the paper from 1973 to 1981.
