La droite dans les médias: une nouvelle légitimité.

The article analyzes factors which influenced editorial content in an effort to better evaluate the way in which the media in Québec articulated the left-right political axis. The author presents a historical overview of the press in Québec which began after 1760, including the first Québécois newspaper titled "Gazette du commerce et littéraire," founded by Fleury Mesplet in Montréal, Québec, in 1777. Further topics discussed include the transition from a press of opinion to a popular and commercial press, the content presented by the mass media such as the radio and television developed during the 20th century, and a notable rise in right and left political ideologies.
