On Nov. 3, 2026, after closures of Le Pharillon, La Voix gaspésienne and l’Avant-Poste, Benoit Clermont asked the Government of Quebec to act for local news.

After three Gaspésie newspapers closed, Quebec’s new culture minister is being urged to prioritize regional media and sustain supports. Stronger local news matters for newcomers, students, workers, employers, and families across the province.
