Paris Match (French pronunciation: [paʁi matʃ]) is a French-language weekly news magazine. It covers major national and international news along with celebrity lifestyle features. Paris Match has been considered "one of the world's best outlets for photojournalism".[1] Its content quality was compared to the American magazine Life.[2] Paris Match's original slogan was "The weight of words, the shock of photos", which was changed to "Life is a true story" in 2008.[3] The magazine was sold by Lagardère to LVMH in 2024.[4]
