Press release, 14th December 2022
kompreno expands content partnership with Groupe Le Monde
kompreno GmbH, Frankfurt/Main, Germany
More Europe, and even more diversity from France: the borderless European reading experience just got even more interesting. kompreno now provides its continental subscription audience yet more high-quality journalism from France, in addition to Le Monde: the best content from weekly L’Obs and online publication Le HuffPost France, tailored to personal information needs, and translated into the five major European languages – including English, of course. The Frankfurt-based startup is further expanding its editorial offering on an international scale through its expanded content partnership with Paris-based Groupe Le Monde.
Le Monde successfully launched its own English-language digital edition only recently. From now on, the internationally renowned publishing group is making further editorial content from several brands available across Europe via kompreno — in exclusive translation — initially in German, Spanish and Italian, in addition to English.
“We are now bringing the ‘Grande Nation’ even closer to our subscribers,” says Jochen Adler, kompreno’s founder and CEO. “Like Le Monde itself, L’Obs is an institution in France. Le HuffPost France was the first edition of the legendary Huffington Post in a non-English-speaking country. And that was back in 2012! Such pioneer spirit is a perfect fit for us.”
“Le Monde has long been a beacon in France and throughout the French-speaking world, including with our special editions, such as Le Monde Afrique. Since this year, Le Monde in English also brings our unique French and European perspective on current events to the wider world,” adds Eleonora Pizzi, Syndication Manager of Groupe Le Monde, in her statement on the enhanced partnership.
Mrs. Pizzi further states: “Consequently, we also support kompreno, the continental network for quality journalism without language barriers, with a selection of our exclusive content. With high-quality partners and a cosmopolitan audience – in Germany and the Benelux countries, Scandinavia, Italy and Spain, as well as around the world – kompreno adds another feature to our portfolio and will also provide insights for our own international content and brand strategy.”
kompreno’s editorial partner network is constantly expanding, and is based on an open, partnership-based business model. In addition to Le Monde, the network already includes national lighthouse media such as Independent and DIE ZEIT, as well as specialised magazines like brand eins from Germany, MO* Magazine from Belgium, Economic from Bulgaria, Eastwest from Italy, Blätter für deutsche und internationale Politik, and Prospect Magazine. Moreover, it features the unique, often award-winning reporting of digital community media such as Euromaidan Press from Ukraine, Deine Korrespondentin from Germany, L’Ultimo Uomo and Frontiere News from Italy, or Baggrund from Denmark.
With a sleek digital design and innovative language technology, the Frankfurt-based start-up provides a barrier-free reading experience, appealingly translated and intelligently personalised, but without echo chambers and algorithmic filter bubbles. Particularly sought-after kompreno topics include climate change and sustainability, digital society and innovation, international business and politics, social justice and human rights. These provide insights into a globalised, networked world – but always founded on European values. This unique mix ensures endless diversity and infinite discoveries on smartphone, tablet or desktop. 100% fair, 100% ad-free: the most relevant analysis, commentary and reporting from a variety of trusted sources across the European continent.
With its interdisciplinary team, which is spread throughout the continent, and a broad network of experienced partners and advisors, the young company spent two years preparing its market launch. The locally based start-up is independently financed and managed with a principled stance by the owner. It was founded in Frankfurt during the Coronavirus pandemic.
