The online paper Mediapart was founded in 2008 by four journalists, including Edwy Plenel, former editor-in-chief of Le Monde. Mediapart has built a reputation for investigative journalism. Guest commentaries and blog entries are published in its Club de Mediapart section. Mediapart secured its independence in 2019 by transferring its capital to a non-saleable "Fund for a Free Press" which also supports other media.
