  "Le seul journal française à Terre-Neuve et du Labrador", Le Gaboteur was sponsored with the assistance of Federation des francophones de Terre-neuve et du Labrador from 1984-Oct. 1987 but became independent after then. The name was derived from the French word "caboteur" meaning a person who travels to outports with mail, information and news⁽²¹⁾. Published entirely in French, the paper is devoted mainly to news of the Newfoundland francophone community. In November 1987, the paper moved from St. John's to Stephenville to be closer to the main French-speaking area of the province, which is centered in the Port-au-Port region.

• Last issue located: Jan. 1878
• Frequency: Biweekly.
• Printer, publisher and proprietor: F. W. Bowden.
• Description:

  Published from the Public Ledger office, the Indicator presented a such a satirical account of local happenings it is hard to tell when, if ever, it was being serious. Apparently the Indicator had difficulty attracting subscribers because the editor complained about the state of journalism in St. John's with a bitterness quite contrasting to his usual light-hearted tone:

  With the solitary exception of the Editor of the Patriot , a gentleman devoted to the interests of his country, and nervously solicitous to furnish important information upon various subjects, they get your money, something more than a paltry dollar per annum⁽²⁷⁾, you may be sure, and, in return foist upon you little else in their editorial columns but egotistical tirades about their own concerns, or vapid trash about the affairs of some brother twaddler.

  At first published biweekly, the paper became casual about its publishing schedule. "The Indicator will be published regularly on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays according as we think proper or as there is occasion given by individuals to provoke a publication." (Aug. 16, 1877) If the editor was telling the truth, the last available issue was published in Sandy Point, St. George's Bay, in January 1878, where the paper was relocated due to an unspecified form of "persecution".

• Description:

  Kinatuinamot Illegajuk was originally proposed by a committee chaired by Ian Strachen of Memorial University and was financed by funds provided by the federal government. The name of the paper has been translated either as "to whom it may concern" or "something for everyone".⁽³⁰⁾ Published in English and Inuktitut, it was intended to provide a written form of communication among residents of the Labrador Coast and to record stories, anecdotes and a description of the way of life of the native peoples. Although published at first by the Labrador Inuit Association, it was not the official voice of that organization and criticized it at times. It contained local news, letters, history, stories, advice on matters of local health and sanitation, fishing news, and information on government programs. Reproduced by mimeograph for the first decade, it became increasingly sophisticated in format, changing to a glossy coloured magazine in 1991.
