Presse News announced today that Libération is set to re-launch their website on Monday, 29 September.

According to a source at the paper, the new site has been completely redesigned. Libération's objective is to create a sort of "written radio" format in which the website will be more interactive.

The new site will be comprised of three distinct sections. The first section will consist of news and events accompanied contributions by web journalists, print journalists, and bloggers. Another section will be dedicated to multimedia sources, such as audio, video and slideshows. The third section will be comprised of debates, forums, and chats.

The biggest change with the new site is the creation of a new section dedicated to services such as weather and concerts, where users can also create their own personal account. Eventually users will be able to link into a social network where they can participate in debates.
