W e’re proud to provide you with our 2010 media kit to help you with your advertisement planning. The
Quebec Chronicle-Telegraph (QCT) is a weekly English-language newspaper published for people
in the Quebec City region. It is a vital source of information for the English-speaking community and an
excellent way to reach them with your message. We serve a distinct market in the provincial capital.

Although a majority of our readership lives in the Quebec City region, our distribution extends from
Shannon, near the Canadian Forces Base Valcartier, to Thetford Mines. Our distribution currently stands at
2100 paid circulation, with over 600 copies to newsstands in Montreal Sherbrooke and other locations in
the Eastern Townships and with an conservative average of 2 to 3 readers per household (approximately
6500 to 7500 readers). Many of our annual special editions see triple our normal distribution and readership.
Certain special editions are distributed to students of English-language schools in the greater Quebec City
region. Copies of the Chronicle-Telegraph are also sold at select newsstands in Quebec City.

With a history that dates back to 1764, the QCT is the oldest existing newspaper in North America. As
the only English-language newspaper, daily or weekly, published in the Quebec City region, our news,
features and other information deal specifically with subjects relevant to the English-speaking community
(approximately 13,000 strong). The QCT often includes content featuring other cultural communities
too. Anyone wishing to be heard by our community will find that the Chronicle-Telegraph is an effective
communication tool. It can also complement to advertising in the local French media.

The Quebec Chronicle-Telegraph welcomes advertisers from the international through to the local level
with messages about your business, programs, employment opportunities and services for our community
— for the newspaper or our website. We’d love you to add the QCT to your roster of publications for
upcoming publicity items and join the many nationally and locally-based companies that already do!

Inquiries and materials should be addressed to the attention of Rose Ernjakovic, either by regular mail,
email or fax. Quotes for a specific ad campaign are available upon request.
