Le Journal de Québec is a French-language daily newspaper in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. Printed in tabloid format, it has the highest circulation for a Quebec City newspaper, with its closest competitor being Le Soleil.
It was founded March 6, 1967, by Pierre Péladeau, founder of Quebecor. Like its sister paper, the much more widely-read Le Journal de Montréal, it was established by Pierre Péladeau and is owned by Quebecor Média.
A lockout of unionized employees (members of the Canadian Union of Public Employees) began in April 2007 and continued until July 2008. It was the longest-running lockout in the history of the Québec media until then.[2]
As an answer to the lockout, the workers launched their own free daily newspaper, MédiaMatin Québec.[3][4]
On November 27, 2012, Le Journal de Québec launched a special edition for the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region, which includes several pages of local news for the region. The paper had published a special Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean edition from 1973 to 1981.[5][6]
