La une, aux sources du journalisme

Raising awareness

Investigative journalism draws attention to the subjects it covers. In this number, the reporters from "La Presse" attack the legal system's treatment of sexual assault victims, the effects of the lockdown on young people's mental health and how the parents of victims of sexual exploitation feel powerless to help them.

Counter power

As the Covid-19 pandemic rages out of control, the government refuses to allow the media in Quebec access on the ground. Some continue the fight in order to show what is really happening. The reporters investigate the retirement homes, ambulance staff, nurses and police officers working during the curfew.
