The newspaper\xa0business\xa0is in rapid decline. La Presse, Qu\xe9bec\u2019s largest news-site, announced its plan to become a non-profit.

Jesse joins Pierre-Elliot Levasseur, the President of La Presse in Montr\xe9al and speaks to him about their new non-profit structure. We learn about La Presse\u2019s move to digital and how they\u2019re holding out hope for a government news bailout.

Is this the future for news media in Canada? Or is it simply a neat exit strategy for Power Corporation, the Desmarais owned holding-company that severed ties with the newspaper business?
