Staying Current: Exploring Local News with Thomas Thivierge and Le Soleil

In the fast-paced world of digital media, staying connected to your community is more important than ever. For residents of the Quebec City region, local news (actualité) isn’t just about headlines—it’s about the stories that shape the culture, the passion of sports, and the magic of cinema.

At the heart of this storytelling is Thomas Thivierge, a versatile journalist at Le Soleil, one of Quebec’s most prestigious news outlets. Since joining the team in 2018, Thivierge has evolved alongside the changing landscape of Canadian journalism.

A Journey Through Modern Journalism

Thomas’s career path reflects the dynamism required in today’s newsrooms. Starting as a versatile reporter covering various beats, he quickly transitioned into the digital sphere. By the winter of 2020, he was specializing in digital broadcasting, ensuring that the latest news reached audiences instantly through their screens.

However, the art of writing remains timeless. In the autumn of 2024, Thivierge made a strategic return to his roots, expanding his portfolio to include:

n
• Cinema: Providing deep dives and reviews of the latest films.
• Sports: Capturing the adrenaline and drama of local and international athletic events.
• Local Current Events: Keeping the pulse of the Greater Quebec region.

Engaging the Community: The Local News Quiz

Beyond traditional reporting, Thomas believes in the power of interactive journalism. To make the local actualité more engaging, he creates a weekly quiz designed to test and expand the knowledge of Quebec residents. It’s a unique way to turn news consumption into a fun, educational experience.

Whether you are a die-hard sports fan, a cinephile, or someone who simply wants to stay informed about their neighborhood, Thivierge’s multifaceted approach ensures there is something for everyone.
