McGILL DAILY FRAN«AIS
Founded in 1977, the McGill Daily FranÁais runs in tandem
with the English-language McGill Daily, but has never
leaned so far to the political left. Instead the McGill
Daily FranÁais focuses largely on the status of
francophone students at McGill, examining issues such as
enrolment numbers, problems with integration, and grading
of French-language papers, and the role of McGill in
Quebec student politics. As well, the McGill Daily
FranÁais is strong in reporting on culture. Today, it
publishes once a week and has a circulation of 11,000. As
we found out, the majority of the past editors still live
in Quebec.
