LE DEVOIR - 110 YEARS -
By Bernard Bujold - Today, Friday, January 10, 2020, Le Devoir celebrates its 110th anniversary!
I knew seven of the ten newspaper's editors...
The most colourful was without a doubt Claude Ryan! A key figure in his day who was a real source of influence in the community. He was also very thrifty and during his reign, Le Devoir was financially very solid. It was after his departure that the situation changed, first influenced by the surprise appointment of a director from outside the newspaper (Jean-Louis Roy) and then by the change in Quebec society and the media world.
Strangely enough, today in 2020 it is the dean of newspapers, La Presse, founded in 1884, that has disappeared from the newsstands, while Le Devoir has survived despite very serious financial crises that should have been fatal to it.
Today, Le Devoir is considered the number one newspaper in Quebec, if not in its circulation, at least in terms of its influence and quality.
Happy birthday LE DEVOIR ...
