- Title
Le journal régional, organe politique et outil de développement : l'exemple du Franco-Canadien et du Canada français de Saint-Jean.

- Abstract
Founded in 1860, Le Franco-Canadien is first and foremost the political tool of Félix-Gabriel Marchand. As a result of negotiations, the newspaper escapes its influence and, in 1893, Le Canada français appears in the landscape of Saint-Jean to ensure a voice for the Liberal Party of Quebec. Two years later, the two newspapers merge and Le Canada français becomes both a political body and a tool for regional development. This article focuses on the evolution of the journalistic practice of Franco- Canadien/ Canada français from 1860 to 1970. It shows how, while new modes of production and diffusion of the press appear, the regional newspaper must adapt to new media realities to ensure its survival. The exemplary longevity of Le Canada français shows that this newspaper has managed to stand out and offer its readers a product as attractive as the Montreal newspapers, but distinct in its regional content.
