L'Commerçant is a Gylian financial newspaper, founded in 1986. It is part of the Magdel Group.
History
It was founded in 1986 by Marie-Agnès Delaunay, who envisioned it as a purely Francophone national newspaper. It served as a complement to the existing L'Actualité, and notably targeted a merchant audience.
While Marie-Agnès contributes a monthly column to it and its sister paper L'Actualité, it has not been changed to match her public persona like Radio Courant.
Profile
Its political orientation is liberal and Donatellist. It is aimed at a merchant audience, and thus its coverage is primarily localised and concerned with merchant interests, avoiding topics such as the stock market.
It is published solely in French.
Ownership and organisation
L'Commerçant is legally constituted as an SA, and part of the Magdel Group. Its headquarters are in Náunai, Ḑarna.
The newspaper has a 10-member Management Board and a 20-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 from merchants only.
