History and profile

The magazine was established by Bernard Langlois under the title of Politis-le Citoyen in January 1988.[2][3] Before it was renamed as Politis the name of the magazine was changed to Le Nouveau Politis.[3] The headquarters of the magazine is in Paris, and it was previously published on a monthly basis.[1]

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.[2] The magazine has also an ecologist approach.[3]

Politis is financed through subscription.[3] In 1996 the magazine had a circulation of 25,000 copies.[3]
