Les Coops de l’information is embracing a 100% digital model, publishing its last weekly print editions on Dec. 30, as set out in the Quebec and Eastern Ontario regional media collective’s 2020 business plan. That includes Le Droit in Ottawa-Gatineau, Le Nouvelliste in Trois-Rivières, Le Quotidien in Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean, Le Soleil in Quebec City, La Tribune in Sherbrooke, La Voix de l’Est in Granby and Les As de l’info, a website dedicated to youth. Les Coops de l’information will continue to produce print editions of its Mag Affaires in all six markets, citing content that stays relevant for longer. In anticipation of the end of weekly print editions, the Coops launched a voluntary departure program this summer with 125 workers signing up, representing about one third of the CN2i workforce.
