La Revue

What La Revue does

La Revue is a French-language local weekly newspaper serving the MRC Les Moulins (Terrebonne, Mascouche) and three municipalities in MRC de Montcalm (St-Lin-Laurentides, St-Roch-de-l'Achigan, St-Calixte) in the Lanaudière region of Quebec, Canada. Founded in May 1959 by Aimé Despatis and headquartered at 955 boulevard des Seigneurs in Terrebonne, the publication produces hyperlocal news across politics, community events, sports (including coverage of the local Cobras team), culture, lifestyle, employment listings, and obituaries. Since January 2020 it has operated under Médialo inc. (formerly Groupe Lexis Média), a Quebec media group that publishes ten weekly journals and two magazines across Laurentides, Lanaudière, Abitibi-Témiscamingue, and Outaouais; the parent rebranded to Médialo in September 2022.

La Revue's product surface comprises a weekly print edition with established deposit-point distribution, a digital website at larevue.qc.ca, electronic editions, and a free email newsletter (infolettre), all built on a standard web publishing platform with social media integration on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. The rabaischocs.com partnership provides a local SMB promotional and coupon channel anchored to the Terrebonne catchment.

Revenue is generated through two primary streams: advertising from local businesses (display ads in print and online, plus promotional offers via rabaischocs.com) and print subscription or newsstand sales, supplemented by the free newsletter. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and there is no mobile app, no public API, and no disclosed AI capability. Customer base is the dispersed residential readership of five small municipalities and a long-tail portfolio of local SMB advertisers, with no named enterprise anchor accounts.
