Le Monde diplomatique

Le Monde diplomatique is a monthly newspaper founded in 1954 by Le Monde, the respected French daily newspaper of record. As its name implies, Le Monde Diplomatique originally circulated to diplomats and foreign policy experts; today, circulation is 2.5 million via 70 different language editions, each of which customises its content for its intended readership.

The newspaper has acquired an international reputation for independent-minded thinking and authoritative journalism that tells its readers what is really happening beneath the superficial spin and received wisdom about international events. Its fresh and individualistic approach allows it to cover places and issues that the rest of the media simply doesn’t have on its radar.

In 2007 CPL was asked to take on the production of the English-language edition of Le Monde Diplomatique. Our work includes sub-editing, design and picture research.
