Fine Print: Subversive News and The Montreal Gazette
|
| Abstract |
The story of how The Montreal Gazette has dug up the muck in Canada for nearly 250 years. In that time, the author argues that the newspaper has witnessed unending turbulence in the most tumultuous city in the country. The first publisher and editor of The Gazette were thrown in jail for three years for criticizing the British, the Catholic church and the judicial system. In 1849, The Gazette encouraged a violent insurrection leading to the fiery destruction of the Parliament building in Montreal. In the next century the newspaper spearheaded the drive for the arrest of the city's mayor and his internment during World War II. And in this century it enraged the premier of Quebec when it uncovered an old peoples' residence full of dead and dying residents, victims of the Covid pandemic.
