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.
Le Journal 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 the Sun Media division of Quebecor Média.
A lockout of unionized employees (members of the Canadian Union of Public Employees) that began in April 2007 continued until July 2008, the longest running lockout for a French-language newspaper in the history of Canada.
As an answer to the lockout, the workers launched their own free daily newspaper, MédiaMatin Québec.[1] [2]
