''L'Obs'' (initially ''France Observateur'', later ''Le Nouvel Observateur'', since 23 October 2014 simply ''L'Obs'') (:ɔps)) is a weekly French newsmagazine. Based in Paris, it is the most prominent French general information magazine in terms of audience and circulation. ==History and profile== The magazine was established in 1950 under the name ''France-Observateur''. It adopted its current name in 1964.〔 Jean Daniel and Claude Perdriel were the founders of the 1964 incarnation of the magazine. Since then ''Le Nouvel Observateur'' has been published by Groupe Nouvel Observateur on a weekly basis 〔〔 and has covered political, business and economic news. It features extensive coverage of European, Middle Eastern and African political, commercial and cultural issues. Its strongest areas are political and literary matters and is noted for its in-depth treatment of the main issues of the day. It has been described as "the French intellectuals' parish magazine", or more pejoratively as "quasi-official organ of France's 'gauche caviar'". Magazine's internet site was launched by Patrick Fiole and Christina Sourieau in 1999. The magazine's new charter, adopted in June 2004 (on the 40th anniversary of its founding), described the paper's principles: :...The ''Nouvel Observateur'' is a cultural and political weekly whose orientation belongs within the general social-democratic movement. A tradition ever concerned with combining respect for freedom and the quest for social justice. Its current editorial board is presided over by two of its co-founders, Jean Daniel and Claude Perdriel, two editors-in-chief, Laurent Joffrin and Serge Lafaurie, as well as director general, Jacqueline Galvez. André Gorz and other journalists who had left ''L'Express'' helped found the publication. A 65% stake in the magazine was purchased by the owners of ''Le Monde'' in 2014.〔(Those media assets that are worth nothing ) ''Monday Note''. 19 January 2014.〕 On 12 March 2014, Laurent Joffrin and Nathalie Collin, the two co-directors of the press group gave their dismissal, as the ''Nouvel Observateur'' was being sold to ''Le Monde''.〔(Laurent Joffrin et Nathalie Collin quittent le directoire du ''Nouvel Observateur'' ) 12 March 2014.
