History

The Causeur website was created on November 15, 2007, by journalist Élisabeth Lévy, historian Gil Mihaely, and philosophers Alain Finkielkraut, Paul Thibaud and Peter Sloterdijk.[1] It also hosts several blogs.

A monthly print version has been published since June 2008, and distributed to newsagents since April 4, 2013.[2] In 2013, 44% of Causeur's financing came from Gérald Penciolelli, described as a "French far-right figure"[3] because he was part of the leadership team of Ordre Nouveau and the Party of New Forces.[4]

During the campaign leading up to the 2012 French presidential elections, a weekly "battle" pitted a Causeur journalist against a representative of Rue89, in partnership with Yahoo.[5]
