Hydro-Presse est le journal d’entreprise des employés et des retraités d’Hydro-Québec depuis près de 100 ans. C’est en 1922 que la Montreal Light, Heat and Power Consolidated (MLHPC) lance un journal bilingue, The Dual Service / Le service double. La publication change de nom en 1936 pour l’Entre-Nous. Et 35 ans plus tard, le magazine adopte le nom qu’il porte encore aujourd’hui : Hydro-Presse. Au fil du temps, le magazine a toujours conservé sa mission : contribuer à l’engagement et à la fierté des hydroquébécoises et des hydroquébécois grâce à une information de qualité sur les grands enjeux de l’entreprise.
