Mediapart (French: [medjapaʁt]) is an independent French investigative online newspaper created in 2008 by Edwy Plenel, [1] former editor-in-chief of Le Monde. It is published in French, English and Spanish, and has produced hundreds of investigations over the past 15 years, on political corruption, financial corruption, environmental damage, as well as on social, sexual, and police violence.
