Libération

Libération, or Libé for short, is a daily newspaper from France. Think of it like a big book of news that comes out every single day! It was started a long, long time ago, in 1973, by two clever people named Jean-Paul Sartre and Serge July.

They wanted to create a newspaper that was a bit different from others, a place where lots of different ideas could be shared. It’s like a playground for thoughts and news!

Libé was born after some big protests and exciting changes happened in France in 1968. The people who started it wanted to share news and ideas that were a little bit rebellious and very thoughtful. At first, it was known for being funny and not too serious, even though it talked about important things.

Everyone who worked there, even the bosses, used to get paid the same amount of money! How cool is that?

Libé believes in protecting everyone's freedoms and making sure that smaller groups of people are heard. It's like being a superhero for fairness! They were also one of the very first newspapers in France to have its own website, so people could read the news on computers even way back then.

This newspaper is considered a really important one in France, like a trusted guide for understanding what's happening.

Libé tries to be a place where all sorts of people with different ideas can talk. They focus on making sure everyone's voice is heard, especially those who might be a little quieter. Sometimes, when the newspaper shares its opinions, some readers might disagree, but that's okay because it makes everyone think more. It’s a newspaper that really cares about people and ideas.
