France: New 'online content' weekly to launch
Posted by Lauren Drablier on September 23, 2008 at 2:27 PM
New French weekly newspaper Vendredi will be launched on October 17, and will feature the "best information" found on the Web, Le Figaro reported.
Jacques Rosselin, co-founder of the project, said the online information industry has reached "maturity" and that the paper will focus on the "sharp expertise" found on certain Web sites and blogs. The title will be printed in eight pages.
It is still not known how much the cover price will be. Le Figaro wrote that around 10 journalists would be working for Vendredi and the estimated paid circulation is 50,000 copies. Future plans may include similar launches in Spain and the United States, Le Figaro reported.
Rosselin also founded the magazine Courrier International and local television operator Antennes Locales.
