Libération was founded under the aegis of philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre in 1973 and is considered France's leading leftwing daily. Libération is known for its attention-grabbing front pages. The newspaper was transferred to a non-profit endowment fund in 2020 and underwent a radical digitalisation strategy since which it has received several awards for modernisation and seen its readership numbers rise again.
