La Montagne was established as an independent socialist publication by Alexandre Varenne in 1919. He also served as the editor-in-chief of the paper which is headquartered in Clermont-Ferrand. La Montagne was censored during World War II when France was occupied by the German forces, and the paper was suspended on 27 August 1943. It was relaunched on 15 September 1944 and became the main daily in Auvergne. The Centre France group is the owner of La Montagne, which also owns other regional dailies and weeklies. The majority shareholder in the company is the Alexander and Margaret Varenne Foundation. La Montagne began to be published in tabloid format in January 2008. More information...
