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