L'Acadie Nouvelle is an independent French newspaper published in Caraquet , New Brunswick , Canada since June 6, 1984. It is published from Monday through Saturday and is the only French-language daily newspaper in New Brunswick.
History
The newspaper was established following the closure of fr:L'Évangéline ( Acadian newspaper), in October 1982. The initial financing of the project was made possible with a fund-raising campaign raising CA$ 350,000 , mostly from Acadian communities in the Province. [1]
The newspaper was originally distributed in the area of Gloucester County . The paper was written and edited in Caraquet and printed in Miramichi by the Miramichi Leader Newspaper . Within its first three years, L'Acadie Nouvelle increased its readership from 5,700 to 12,000 copies. [1]
After the creation of Acadie Presse Inc. , a commercial printer, in 1988, the newspaper has been printed in Caraquet. L'Acadie Nouvelle and Acadie Presse Inc. merged in 2002.
In 1989, the newspaper hired permanent journalists in Campbellton , Edmundston , Fredericton and Moncton . On September 5 of the same year, it extended the distribution to all of New Brunswick . In 1992, an office was opened in Dieppe to better serve southern New Brunswick. [1]
Originally published from Monday to Friday, a Saturday edition was added in August 2003. Currently, the paper sells 20,000 daily subscriptions reaching 43,000 readers, as well as 71,000 weekly subscriptions. [1]
While founded as an independent newspaper, it outsourced its printing to the Brunswick News media conglomerate , which owns the other newspapers in New Brunswick. [2] The decision led to a savings of a million dollars, but led to the loss of twenty jobs with the Acadie Presse printing facility in Caraquet. [2] The printing press at the Acadie Presse facility was dismantled and sent to Egypt. [3]
