“Le Devoir is one of the only newspapers in North America making a profit on its internet operations.”
I've walked you through all this because I want you to understand the extraordinary collegial spirit behind an offer Benoît Munger, the paper's webmaster, made to me a few months ago: If I wanted to share a restricted Le Devoir article with readers of this blog, I should let him know and he'd open it up for free access.
It also helps that Le Devoir doesn't suck from start to finish like, say, anything CanWest Global touches.
