The Republic (French reformed: L'République) is a Gylian newspaper, founded in 1955.

History

It was founded in 1955, during the latter stages of the Liberation War. Its moderate profile crystallised into an explicit social democratic orientation, thus coming to represent the more reformist end of the Gylian left.

The paper achieved the height of its success in the Golden Revolution, where it was renowned for its coverage of pop culture, and as the home of the influential columnist Doortje Koelewijn. It entered a slump during the wretched decade, but later rebounded.

The 1990s saw it adopt new technology such as digital printing, establish its website, and digitise its archives through BiblioNet.

Profile

Its political orientation is social democratic and republican.

It publishes editions in English, French, and Gylic, with the latter edition using the various Gylic languages based on the native language of the respective writer or region referred to in the story.

Ownership and organisation

The Republic is owned and published by The Republic Cooperative, legally constituted as an SCo. Its headquarters are in Antánas, Tandar.

The newspaper has a 5-member Management Board and a 10-member Supervisory Board, elected yearly.

Its revenue comes from newsagent's sales, paid subscriptions, online orders, and donations. Donors are listed at the end of each issue. It accepts classified advertising.
