Valeurs actuelles is a French conservative weekly news magazine published in France.
Overview
Valeurs actuelles was founded in 1966[1] by Raymond Bourgine as an offspring of the weekly Finances, a stock market information review. The magazine gradually became an opinion and generalist publication with a liberal-conservative tendency. In 1971 Valeurs actuelles was relaunched.[2] The magazine is published on a weekly basis.[1][3]
Formerly owned by Socpresse the magazine has been owned by Valmonde, a subsidiary of Sud Communication.[3] The company is owned by Pierre Fabre,[3] who founded Laboratoires Pierre Fabre.[4]
The main articles of the magazine are the editorial, written by François d'Orcival; the lettre de M. de Rastignac ("Rastignac's letter"), a humour piece about French politics that comments on present politicians by calling them by names of supporting characters from Balzac's works. The magazine has a right-wing stance.[5]
Valeurs actuelles is mostly distributed to subscribers. Its circulation in 1981 was 113,000 copies.[6] The estimated circulation of the magazine was 90,000 copies in 1988.[7]
