under one leadership and Michael Sifton’s departure
MONTREAL, November 7, 2008— Quebecor Inc. announces the integration of Sun Media and Canoe under the leadership of Pierre Karl Péladeau, President and Chief Executive Officer. In light of this new reporting structure, Michael Sifton, President and Chief Executive Officer of Sun Media Corporation, will be leaving the company as his position will now be undertaken by Mr. Péladeau. Mr. Sifton was appointed to this position in September 2007, after acting as President and Chief Executive Officer of Osprey Media until the acquisition of the company by Quebecor Media Inc.
The integration of Sun Media Corporation and Canoe under one leadership will help to maximize growth opportunities and synergies, and accelerate the migration of information and contents generated by the various publications to cross-platform supports.
“The speed with which business models are required to change, combined with an uncertain economic context and more difficult advertising conditions, calls for a clearly defined strategic and operational vision. To ensure that our efforts and resources are better coordinated, I will now take charge the leadership of both our newspaper segment and our Web portal” has indicated Mr. Péladeau.
“Michael has played an important role, in particular by ensuring the smooth integration of two major publishers, and by preparing Sun Media Corporation’s expansion in Internet and new digital technology,” added Mr. Péladeau. “As such, he has contributed to the development of our vision for the future.”
“I am happy to have been given the opportunity to integrate Osprey Media in Sun Media organization. I leave behind talented people and a strong team that will no doubt successfully take on the challenges that our changing environment is bringing” declared Mr. Sifton.
Please note that Bruno Leclaire will continue to act as Vice-President Interactive Medias QMI and President Canoë, and will keep all previous responsibilities.
