Le Journal Saint-François is a free French-language weekly tabloid newspaper based in Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, Quebec, Canada.[1] The newspaper is distributed online and at 125 drop-off points in the city of Salaberry-de-Valleyfield and other municipalities that are part of the Beauharnois-Salaberry Regional County Municipality and the Vaudreuil-Soulanges Regional County Municipality. Le Journal Saint-François is owned by Gravité Média.[2]

In 2013, the newspaper merged with former competitor Le Soleil de Valleyfield when media group Quebecor sold its regional weekly papers to Transcontinental.[3] Two years later, Le Soleil was absorbed into Le Journal Saint-François.[4] In the years preceding the merger, other newspapers in the region closed, making Le Journal Saint-François one of only two print newspaper covering the city of Salaberry-de-Valleyfield. News website INFOSuroit.com also covers the area.[5]

Le Journal Saint-François covers local news, including politics, urban development, culture, crime, and other topics.

Gravité Média also owns Le Journal Saint-François' sister publications, Le Courrier du Sud, La Relève, Le Reflet and Le Soleil de Châteauguay.[6]
