                   QUEBECOR WORLD NORTH AMERICA'S PRESIDENT,
               CHAIRMAN AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, MARC REISCH,
                 RECEIVES AGC'S "POWER OF COMMUNICATIONS" AWARD


New York, NY - May 17, 2002 - At the Association of Graphic Communications'
(AGC) 50th Anniversary Franklin Event, Marc Reisch, President, Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer of Quebecor North America was a recipient of the 2002
"Power of Communications" Award. This award is given each year to individuals in
the Graphic Arts community, "In recognition of their positive influence,
creative excellence, and outstanding achievements within the world of graphic
communications".

In accepting the award, Mr. Reisch stated, "As the business leader of the
world's largest commercial printer, I am very proud of the role that Quebecor
World and its customers play in promoting and supporting the strength and
availability of the printed word. With the evolution of a truly global economy,
"literacy" and the ability of all of our people to communicate effectively
through the written word, has never had a greater importance than it has today.
We will continue to support the Graphics Arts community across the New York
metropolitan area, across the country, and around the world, as we strive to
attract "the best and the brightest" to our industry."

Also at this May 16th event, Michael Bloomberg, the 108th Mayor of the City of
New York, was the "Franklin Award" honoree. This award represents the highest
single honor bestowed by the Graphic Arts Industry, and serves to focus national
and regional attention on the ever-evolving and far-reaching world of graphic
communications.

Additional "Power of Communications" recipients were Edward E. Barr, Chairman of
Sun Chemical Group, B.V. and Diane Romano, President, AGT-seven, The Eastern
Region and e-Business Division of Applied Graphics Technologies.
