À rayons ouverts, chroniques de BAnQ

La revue trimestrielle À rayons ouverts, chroniques de BAnQ, publiée par Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec (BAnQ), a pour objectif de faire connaître au personnel des milieux documentaires, aux enseignants, aux étudiants ainsi qu'au public en général les collections, les ressources, les services et les activités de l'institution.

L’actualité

L’actualité s’efforce de repérer pour ses lecteurs les tendances significatives. Il évite les modes passagères et le conformisme intellectuel. Il aborde sans détour les sujets importants de notre époque pour faire de ses pages un lieu de débats sur les enjeux de société. Magazine sans frontières, L’actualité explore le monde pour faire émerger les idées, les solutions, les réussites et les gens qui les incarnent. Face au déferlement incessant de l’information dans un monde hyper-médiatisé, L’actualité s’applique à faire le tri pour présenter à ses lecteurs, de manière organisée, approfondie et vulgarisée, l’essentiel à connaître et à comprendre.

L'actualité is a French-language news and general interest magazine in Quebec, Canada, published in Montreal by Les Éditions Rogers, which is owned by Rogers Communications. The magazine has over a million readers, according to Canada's Print Measurement Bureau, from its circulation which is mainly subscribers. Eighty-six percent of its readership are Québécois.

The magazine came into being when Maclean Hunter, publisher of Maclean's, acquired the mailing list of the defunct Actualité magazine in the 1970s, and merged it with its own French-language edition, Le Maclean.

The Economist

Even when The Economist incorporated the Bankers' Gazette and Railway Monitor from 1845 to 1932, it also described itself as "a political, literary and general newspaper".

It still does so because, in addition to offering analysis and opinion, it tries in each issue to cover the main events—business and political—of the week.

The extreme centre is the paper's historical position." That is as true today as when Crowther said it in 1955. The Economist considers itself the enemy of privilege, pomposity and predictability. It has backed conservatives such as Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher. It has supported the Americans in Vietnam. But it has also endorsed Harold Wilson and Bill Clinton, and espoused a variety of liberal causes…

But few readers buy The Economist for one thing alone, and in recent years the paper has added sections devoted to Europe, Asia, Latin America, international issues, and science and technology. It has also expanded coverage of books and arts…

Articles in The Economist are not signed, but they are not all the work of the editor alone. Nowadays, the paper has about 20 staff correspondents abroad..
