Le Journal du Dimanche (French pronunciation: [lə ʒuʁnal dy dimɑ̃ʃ]; lit. 'Sunday's newspaper'), also known as the JDD [ʒidede], is a French weekly newspaper published on Sundays in France. JDD was bought in 2023 by Vivendi of media mogul Vincent Bolloré, triggering a strike movement against the new editorial stance perceived as far-right.[1] History and profileLe Journal du Dimanche was created by Pierre Lazareff in 1948.[2] He was managing editor of France Soir at that time.[2] The weekly paper belongs to the Lagardère Group[3] through Hachette Filipacchi Médias.[4] The company is also the publisher of the paper[5] which is based in Paris[4] and which is published on Sundays. Le Journal du Dimanche was published in broadsheet format until 1999 when it began to be published in the Berliner format.[3] On 6 March 2011 the paper again changed its format to large tabloid format.[3] In the period of 2001–2002, Le Journal du Dimanche had a circulation of 275,000 copies.[5] In 2010, this had decreased slightly to 257,280 copies,[3] but by 2020, it had dropped to 151,007 copies.[6] 2023 strike after takeover by VivendiOn 23 June 2023, days after the takeover of Lagardère group by Vivendi, the appointment of Geoffroy Lejeune as editor-in-chief was announced, just a few days after he had been fired from his position as editorial director of the far-right-wing weekly magazine Valeurs Actuelles. This set off a firestorm among the editorial staff, 93% of whom voted to go on strike on 22 June to protest against this potential arrival,[7] thought to have been engineered by Vincent Bolloré.[1] One month later, negotiations were broken off again when the Lagardère group confirmed that Lejeune would take over editorial control of the newspaper on 1 August. 98% of the journalists voted to continue the longest strike in the newspaper's history. This vote made the strike longer than the 31-day strike at I-Tele when the latter was transformed into CNews[1] after being taken over by Canal+, whose oversight committee is also chaired by Bolloré.[8] The European Commission opened a formal investigation into Vivendi's takeover of Lagardère group on 25 July for potential violation of European Union rules.[9] On 1 August, journalists voted to abandon the strike after reaching an agreement on severance terms for those intending to leave the newspaper as a result of the change.[10][11] It was revealed in June 2024 that 95% of the journalists left the newspaper after the change.[12] Staff
