“The radical transformation of the media business environment requires urgent reflection and collective solutions. I salute the work of the entire Métro Média group team and its journalists who have covered Montreal news over the years.”Métro Média was formed in 2018 by Michael Raffoul when he purchased Métro and 29 other publications from TC Transcontinental as part of the latter’s exit from the news business.
Mulé, who previously worked in sales at the Montreal Gazette, Benjamin News Inc. and Transmet Logistics before joining Métro in 2018, said the company had plans to form a cooperative “and be in line with our social mission.”André Préfontaine, then president of Transcontinental Media, and Pelle Tornberg, presdient of Metro International, announce the new Métro newspaper in Montreal on Feb. 28, 2001.
In his message Friday, Mulé said he was “proud of our long history” with some of the community papers going back decades.
