Word from the Associate Editor | To support you in these times of uncertainty

The mission of The Press is clear: to inform you about the subjects that affect you, in a factual and rigorous manner.

We want to be part of your daily rituals, feed your understanding of the complex world in which we live, help you make the wisest life choices.

This is true at all times, but it is perhaps even more so in times of uncertainty, as is currently the case. And I’m not talking here (only) about the death of the queen…

The news is indeed not very encouraging with the repeated waves of COVID, the war in Ukraine, inflation, the climate crisis, real estate prices, fears of a recession, etc.

For this new school year, all this encourages us to be even more relevant and useful in your lives, to contribute to your understanding of these various crises and their repercussions, to help you regain control in your lives.

The watchword for this back-to-school period: support you with diversified and useful information, ideas, tactics and solutions to current problems.

The first thing you will notice in the different platforms of The Press is the emphasis on purchasing power. We have expanded the team of reporters who cover business news, personal finance, real estate, grocery shopping, and more.

We want to help you better understand these difficult times and better navigate them, thanks to analyses, reports, files and guides that will challenge you.

We will offer you new newsletters. money and happinessfor example, will allow you to expand your knowledge of investments, personal finance and the psychology of enrichment each week. The positive angle will offer a selection of the most inspiring content from The Press. And It’s holiday will focus on recommendations for weekend outings.

Our journalists will also bring back in their luggage solutions to today’s major issues found elsewhere in the world, by visiting cities and countries that have solved some of today’s major problems.

In an uncertain world, it is also very important to be able to make up your own mind on the main current issues, on the real-time evolution of society and the rapid changes in our bearings and habits.

Hence the need to reflect the major currents of thought, the original ideas and the debates that occupy the public square, which we will do with even more diversity this year.

Like Régis Labeaume, the former mayor of Gatineau Maxime Pedneaud-Jobin has been bringing a sensitivity to the regions and municipal issues for the past few days, in addition to being interested in national and identity issues.

Marc Séguin makes a remarkable return to The Press to offer us his unique perspective on the news and on the world around us. The pens of Catherine Ethier, Olivier Niquet, Rosalie Bonenfant and Guillaume Lambert will notably be added to those of the artists who each week sign a “carte blanche” in the Context section.

Without counting, of course, the texts of your favorite columnists of The Pressthe collaborators already present, such as Marie-France Bazzo, Boucar Diouf, Martine St-Victor, Michel C. Auger, Rose-Aimée Automne T. Morin and many others.

So many opinions that will be added to yours! Because we will continue to give you a good place, by publishing your reactions to the news and by answering your questions. Nothing is more important than dialogue in this age of polarization.

Added to this is a renewed investigation team, whose mandate is to expose issues, secrets, details and social facts that are hidden, inaccessible or little known.

Led by Violaine Ballivy and Vincent Larouche, this team will present surveys on various topics that have an impact on your life.

We will also continue to cover the current election campaign intensively until D-Day. Our journalists are on the ground and in the coaches to help you understand and make the most informed choice on October 3rd. .
