Le Gaboteur is a Canadian newspaper, published inSt. John's,Newfoundland and Labrador.[1] The province's onlyFrench language newspaper,[1] the publication serves theFranco-Newfoundlander community as well as the nearbyFrench territory ofSt. Pierre and Miquelon.
The paper was established in 1984 in St. John's[2] by theFédération des Francophones de Terre-Neuve et du Labrador,[3] and moved toStephenville in 1987 to be closer to the province's primary francophone settlements on thePort au Port Peninsula. The publication later moved its offices back to St. John's in the early 2000s.
Originally launched as a monthly publication,Le Gaboteur expanded to a biweekly in 1986.
In 2014, to mark the 100th anniversary of the start ofWorld War I, the newspaper published a special edition commemorating the Franco-Newfoundlanders who had served in the war.[4]
