Struggling French weekly ‘Marianne’ makes a comeback ‘Le Nouveau Marianne’
Jean-François Kahn, founder of the current affairs magazine Marianne is looking to revolutionise the notion of the weekly news magazine. The journalist, who has just celebrated his 75th birthday, took the decision to transform the struggling weekly publication Marianne into the new and improved Le Nouveau Marianne, which debuted in kiosks on Saturday 29 June at a price of 3 euros. Kahn is hoping that Le Nouveau Marianne will follow in the footsteps of Le Nouvel Observateur, the highly successful news weekly which came into existence as a result of the relaunch of the floundering publication, France Observateur in 1964.
