About us

Pop News Weekly is the Island's leading source of news about Pop.

Pop, our subject.
Gérard “Pop” Arsenault, the subject of every story we have published.

Pop News Weekly was founded in August 2026 to cover one beat: Pop. Every Thursday we report what Pop has done, said, grown, disputed or shovelled that week.

Our newsroom is one person, Pop's grandson, working from the kitchen table. We have no advertisers. We have one sponsor, a coffee, disclosed where it applies.

Our standards

We verify every story with Pop. Where Pop and the facts disagree, we print both and let the reader decide. Pop is not always told about this policy.

Corrections

  • Aug 20 Pop ate lunch at 11:45, not noon.
  • Sep 10 The remote was in the couch cushions, which Pop had checked.
  • Oct 15 The truck started on the second try, not the first. We regret the optimism.

Send a tip

Stand at the end of the driveway and shout. If Pop is on the porch, he will hear you. If he is watching the hockey, try again later.

Pop News Weekly is a work of fiction.
