Emmanuel Dubois @manuphoto.com · 30/09/2026Since my favourite coffee shop in Old Montréal, Bar à Beurre, will soon be moving (😭), I’m trying out alternatives. I’ve been to Le Terminus a few times and quite enjoyed the experience. Quiet, clean, with nice staff and good coffee. I’ll have to give the pastries and food a try, but they look good. 010

Emmanuel Dubois @manuphoto.com · 26/07/2026No single publication can tell the whole story. That’s why I believe a healthy media diet is built on thoughtful diversity, not on finding the “perfect” source. #Journalism #MediaLiteracy #News 010
Emmanuel Dubois @manuphoto.com · 26/07/2026The goal isn’t to collect newspapers from across the political spectrum. The goal is to understand the world through different journalistic cultures, editorial priorities and areas of expertise. 110
Emmanuel Dubois @manuphoto.com · 26/07/2026My media diet still has blind spots. It’s largely centered on Western democracies, and I’m always looking for ways to broaden it. But I think diversity of sources matters more than finding a mythical “perfect” news outlet. 110
Emmanuel Dubois @manuphoto.com · 26/07/2026One thing I’ve learned is that trying to read everything is impossible. Reading widely is much more realistic. I’d rather read a handful of good articles from different perspectives than dozens saying essentially the same thing. 110
Emmanuel Dubois @manuphoto.com · 26/07/2026Newspapers are only part of the equation. I also listen to a lot of podcasts about history, science fiction, film and technology. I gravitate toward well-researched, thoughtful productions rather than shows built mostly around banter. 110
Emmanuel Dubois @manuphoto.com · 26/07/2026For science, I recently added Popular Science. For sports, The Athletic. And I also listen to NHK World-Japan’s French-language news podcast because I like having at least one regular perspective from East Asia. 110
Emmanuel Dubois @manuphoto.com · 26/07/2026For a broader North American perspective, I also read The Globe and Mail, The Wall Street Journal and The Atlantic. Each excels in different areas, whether that’s Canadian affairs, business or long-form analysis. 110
Emmanuel Dubois @manuphoto.com · 26/07/2026Living in Québec, I also rely on La Presse, Le Devoir and Radio-Canada. Each fills a different role. Daily news, deeper analysis and public broadcasting together paint a richer picture than any single outlet could. 110
Emmanuel Dubois @manuphoto.com · 26/07/2026For France, I regularly read Le Monde, Le Figaro and Mediapart. They’re all serious publications, but they often frame the same story differently. That’s a feature, not a bug. 110
Emmanuel Dubois @manuphoto.com · 26/07/2026No serious news organization is completely free of blind spots. Each has its own editorial culture, priorities, audience and, to some extent, political outlook. Rather than pretending those differences don’t exist, I think it’s better to understand them. 110
Emmanuel Dubois @manuphoto.com · 26/07/2026A few years ago, I stopped looking for the best newspaper. Instead, I started building a media ecosystem where different outlets complement and challenge one another. 110
Emmanuel Dubois @manuphoto.com · 23/07/2026I’m about halfway through A Wizard of Earthsea, and I’m really enjoying it. What appeals to me most is that the magic is tied to responsibility, balance, identity, and personal growth, rather than flashy displays of power. The characters feel deeply human and imperfect. Exactly my kind of fantasy. 020
