Libération (affectionately known as Libé) is a French newspaper, founded in 1973 by Jean-Paul Sartre and Serge July in Paris, in the wake of the protest movements of May 1968.
It is one of the three big quality national daily newspapers with a circulation of over 150,000. It was the first French daily newspaper to have a website.
Libération has a decidedly self-described progressive editorial line, generally supportive of causes such as anti-racism, feminism, workers' rights. As director Serge July says [1], Libé is a militant newspaper which, however, does not support any particular political party, and generally has bad relations with both left-wing and right-wing administrations. Some columns still try to bring some alternate points of views; for instance, in addition to reports about crimes and other events, it also chronicles daily criminal trials, bringing in a more human vision of petty criminals.
