History

Originally published as a special edition of Nice-Matin , Monaco-Matin was established as an independent newspaper through an agreement between Gérard Bavastro, president of Nice-Matin, and Michel Lévêque, Monaco's Minister of State, on 17 December 1997; its first issue was published on 31 December 1997. [2] [3]

Monaco-Matin and its sister newspapers, Nice-Matin and Var-Matin  [ fr ], are published by Groupe Nice-Matin  [ fr ]. In August 2007, Groupe Hersant Média  [ fr ] acquired the group. [4] However, following financial difficulties, the group was sold to an employee cooperative (SCIC  [ fr ]) in November 2014. [5] [6] In February 2020, Xavier Niel acquired 100% of the group via his NJJ Holding company. [7] [8]
