The People's Voice (French reformed: L'Voix d'Peuple) is a Gylian newspaper, founded in 1960.

History

Dietlinde Scharf

It was established in 1960 by founder Dietlinde Scharf (Gylic transcription: Ditlində Şaryf), a businesswoman and heiress of Shalumite German descent who had moved to Gylias.

Dietlinde served as its editor-in-chief until 1976, and was influential on the paper's identity and internal culture. She envisioned a populist afternoon newspaper that would stand out amid the National Obligation period, with attractive design and an accessible tabloid layout.

The People's Voice found significant success during the Golden Revolution, owing to its broadly progressive leftist orientation and its presentation.

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 progressive and moderate left, with sympathies for liberal socialism, syndicalism, and market socialism. Due to Dietlinde's reputation and influence, it is sometimes considered an aristerokratia-leaning paper.

It publishes editions in English and French.

Ownership and organisation

The People's Voice is owned and published by Vox Populi, legally constituted as an SCo. Its headquarters are in Mişeyáke, Mişeyáke.

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.
