About Le Figaro

Paper Of Record Center-rightEstablished source

Le Figaro has been owned by the Dassault Group since 2004. The Dassault Group is a conservative business conglomerate known for its aircraft manufacturing (Dassault Aviation), and its former head, Serge Dassault, was a conservative politician, which has raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest.

Le Figaro is considered a French newspaper of record with a long history, traditionally reflecting a conservative editorial stance and serving the French upper and middle classes. Media analysis organizations like Media Bias/Fact Check and Ad Fontes Media rate Le Figaro as having a 'Right-Center' or 'Lean Right' bias, while also assigning it a 'High' factual reporting score. Concerns about editorial independence have been noted due to the Dassault Group's ownership and its political and business interests. The headline sample aligns with a center-right perspective, covering topics such as immigration, national politics, and crime, alongside sports and international news.
