La Presse is a prominent French-language daily newspaper based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, founded in 1884 and recognized as a newspaper of record. It has evolved from a traditional broadsheet to a primarily digital publication, discontinuing its print edition in recent years and its Sunday edition in 2009. The newspaper focuses on Canadian politics, crime, and social justice issues, while also providing comprehensive coverage of national and international news, including international affairs, sports, business, technology, culture, gastronomy, real estate, art, lifestyle, and travel. Considered the most complete francophone information source in North America, it distributes content across multiple platforms such as its website, mobile applications, and tablet editions. Owned by an independent nonprofit trust since 2017, it operates without traditional corporate ownership influences, emphasizing editorial independence. La Presse maintains a reputation for in-depth journalism and has been cited in coverage of significant events, such as the 2017 Quebec City mosque shooting involving Alexandre Bissonnette. It continues to play a key role in Quebec's media landscape, providing balanced reporting on provincial, national, and global events, and is widely regarded as a reference for French-speaking audiences in Canada.
