This week, History and Society offers a few brief news items from newspapers puff during the first year of the blog. All these newspapers are digitized on the site's digital collection Library and Archives nationales du Québec . Where is the link to the news? None. But it's still interesting. All extracts will therefore be identified by their newspaper, the date and page. The transcripts are all full, including errors, capitalization, accents or lack thereof. These quotes are presented in chronological order, starting with the most remote in time. What justifies their choice? Quotes that represent many aspects of media in their respective eras? The little smile on reading? In the mid-academic session, is the update that we offer. Happy reading
