The future of newspapers in Montreal ...

La Presse of Montreal is seriously considering his future on the Internet and it is already very much present.
After a visit to the newspaper, however, we did discover that more than having to invest in its electronic tools, La Presse should also invest in its display. Indeed, a visit to their office welcomed us with giant photos of their great journalists, but many of whom have retired or left for the competition. Among them, Réjean Tremblay, who is now a mainstay of sports for the competitor QUEBECOR ... Oops! Quick concierge and brown paper!
