Mediapart (French: ) is an independent French investigative online newspaper created in 2008 by Edwy Plenel, former editor-in-chief of Le Monde. It is published in French, English and Spanish. Mediapart's income is only derived from paid subscribers. Unlike most french newspapers, Mediapart refuses to display any advertising. It also refuses all commercial partnerships. Mediapart's official slogan is "Only our readers can buy us". According to its founder, fear of offending large corporations that buy advertising or commercial partners pushes newspapers toward censorship. He argues citizens must understand that paying for news is the only way to ensure journalists can be truly independent. More information...
