La Tribune (French pronunciation: [la tʁiˈbyn]) is a French weekly financial newspaper founded in 1985 by Bruno Bertez.[1][2] Its main competitor is the French newspaper Les Échos, which is currently owned by LVMH.[3]

From 1993 to 2007, La Tribune was part of LVMH.[2] In 2010, Alain Weill, the chairman and CEO of NextRadioTV, sold 80% of La Tribune to Valérie Decamp for €1 and he still owns 20%.[4][5]

In 2000, it had a circulation of 531,000 copies.[6] In 2008, it switched from tabloid to berliner format. It was rescued from bankruptcy in 2011.[7] In 2012, the newspaper switched to a weekly.

In 2016, it launched its Africa focused website and monthly publication called La Tribune Afrique.[8]

In 2023, La Tribune launched La Tribune Dimanche, a Sunday newspaper during the decline of newspaper sales in France. [9]
