Presse quotidienne nationale française is a group of eighteen paid-for
Frenchdaily newspapers, of which six have circulations in excess of 100,000,[1] and four
free newspapers, which have a much larger circulation: not only is the paid-for press more expensive, but there are fewer outlets from which to buy newspapers. In recent years many
newsstands and
newsagents in Paris that sold newspapers have closed, and customers would need to travel far to get some titles.
Known as the "
journal of reference". Politically independent, it often leans to centre-left views. Le Monde is the only
evening newspaper in this list.
20 minutes:
Schibsted, a Norwegian group, launched this in France at the start of 2002. It has a circulation of 870,000 in France (over 8 editions) of which 510,000 is in Paris. With 2,160,000 readers, 20 Minutes is the largest general-readership newspaper in France.
Direct Soir: Published by
Bolloré between 2006 and 2010. The group also publish the morning free newspaperMatinPlus in partnership with the press group
La Vie-Le Monde.

Libération:
Édouard de Rothschild pushed money into the title in 2005 when it found itself in financial difficulty. In 2006,
Serge July (one of the founders of Libération with
Jean-Paul Sartre), managing editor, was forced to resign. He was replaced by
Laurent Joffrin, late of Libération and previous director of production at Le Nouvel Observateur, a magazine that was relaunched in March 2011. He was himself replaced by
Nicolas Demorand. Businessman
Bruno Ledoux became the second-largest shareholder in 2011. A rescue plan was launched in 2014 by Ledoux and
Patrick Drahi, parting company with Rothschild; Joffrin resumed the leadership.
La Tribune was relaunched by
Alain Weill in 2007, who sold 80% to the managing director
Valérie Decamp [
fr].[2][3] In 2012 the newspaper later sacked him and changed from a daily to weekly format.
The storm of new free titles, together with the expansion of Internet use and the closure of so many points of sale, a turndown in advertising revenue after the
World financial crisis of 2007, the high cost of printing and other phenomena significantly affected the print media, especially dailies, which underwent a severe crisis.[4][5][6]
