Marianne (French pronunciation: [maʁjan]) is a weekly Paris-based French news magazine founded in 1997 by Jean-François Kahn and Maurice Szafran. Its original political slant was described as left-wing sovereigntist; it is today described as right-wing. Since 2018, its editor-in-chief is Natacha Polony. In 2021 its editorial line was frequently compared to far-right magazine Valeurs actuelles by left-wing media.[1]
