The Gazette is one of the oldest newspapers in North American. Founded in 1778, it started out as a French-language paper, became bilingual in the late 1700s and ultimately changed to an English language newspaper in 1822. Today, The Gazette is a dominant newspaper reaching Montreal's large English market. The high octane information makes The Gazette, with its large, loyal readership, the most desirable choice for advertisers offering award winning editorial content with a variety of sections and features that readers have come to depend on, and look forward to, every day of the week. The Gazette also offers things like market research, creative services and New Media applications. Up to 75% of Montreal's English population reads The Gazette.
