Politis is a weekly left-wing "anti-capitalist" French news magazine published in France.

History and profile

The magazine was established by Bernard Langlois under the title of Politis-le Citoyen in January 1988.[1][2] Before it was renamed as Politis the name of the magazine was changed to Le Nouveau Politis.[2]

Although Politis has a left-wing stance it has no political affiliation and publishes articles by the figures from various leftist parties and organizations, including French Communist Party (PCF), the New Anti-Capitalist Party (NPA), ATTAC and the Alternatifs movement.[1] The magazine has also an ecologist approach.[2]

Politis is financed through subscription.[2] In 1996 the magazine had a circulation of 25,000 copies.[2]
