Devoir (Montréal, Québec)

Le Devoir (French pronunciation: [lə də.vwɑʁ], 'Duty') is a French-language newspaper published in Montreal and distributed in Quebec and throughout Canada. It was founded by journalist and politician Henri Bourassa in 1910. Le Devoir is one of few independent large-circulation newspapers in Quebec (and one of the few in Canada) in a market dominated by the media conglomerate Quebecor (including Le Journal de Montréal). Historically Le Devoir was considered Canada's francophone newspaper of record, although by the end of the 20th century, that title was mostly used for its competitor La Presse.
