Mediapart is a French online investigative and opinion journal created in 2008 by Edwy Plenel, the former editor-in-chief of Le Monde. Mediapart is published in French, English and Spanish.
Mediapart's income is solely derived from subscription fees; the website does not carry any advertising. In 2011, Mediapart made a profit for the first time, netting €500,000 from around 60,000 subscribers.[1]
Mediapart consists of two main sections: the journal itself, Le Journal, run by professional journalists, and Le Club, a collaborative forum edited by its subscriber community. In 2011, Mediapart launched FrenchLeaks, a whistleblower website inspired by WikiLeaks.[2][3]
Political scandals
Mediapart has played a central role in the revelation and investigation of two major French political scandals:
- The Bettencourt affair in 2010.[4]
- The Cahuzac case in 2012. Mediapart made public an audio recording from 2000 compromising Jérome Cahuzac, then France's Minister for the Budget, in a fiscal fraud case.[5]
