Show detail Hide detail

The series consists of records relating to Joan Fraser's career in journalism, primarily of her time as editorial page editor and editor-in-chief of The Gazette (now the Montreal Gazette). It includes files relating to her employment, to her nomination and receiving of National Newspaper Awards, and letters of congratulations on promotions and awards. There are records documenting the management and editorial direction of The Gazette, including strategic plans, memoranda, notes on staffing and departures, and records relating to the acquisition of Southam by Hollinger, and the increasing role of owner Conrad Black.

The series also includes subject matter on the Parti Québecois, Lucien Bouchard, the Quebec Liberal Party, the federal Liberals, and English Quebec. Her correspondence files include professional correspondence, letters of recommendation, and correspondence with Pierre Trudeau, Solange Chaput-Rolland, and Edgar and Elizabeth Collard, among others. The records of her departure from The Gazette in 1996 are of special interest, and include reaction from news media across the country, and a special parody front page produced by Gazette staff. The digital material in this series includes her private journal, titled "Leaving the Gazette", which includes postscripts up to 2008.
