About Libération

Libération is known for its unique style and its focus on news from a centre-left point of view. This means it often shares ideas related to social democracy and socialism. It covers many important topics, like politics, culture, and world events.

History and Impact

When Libération first started in 1973, it was a very new kind of newspaper. It aimed to be different from traditional papers. Over the years, it has become an important voice in French media. Like many newspapers, Libération has faced challenges, especially with how many copies it sells.

Newspaper Sales

The number of copies Libération sells each day is called its "circulation." In the 21st century, the newspaper's circulation has not grown as much as some other French newspapers. This shows how the way people get their news is changing, with more people reading online.
