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, and environmental damage, as well as on social, sexual, and police violence. In March 2021, Mediapart reached more than 220,000 paid subscribers.[3] According to euro|topics, a news aggregator published by the German federal government agency Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung, Mediapart's political orientation is left wing.[2]
