La Liberté (French pronunciation: [la libɛʁte], lit. 'The Liberty') is a Swiss French-language daily newspaper based in Fribourg founded in 1871 by Catholic priest Joseph Schorderet [fr].

History

La Liberté was founded 1871 in Fribourg by Catholic priest Joseph Schorderet [fr]. It was printed by the Œuvre de Saint-Paul, (St. Paul SA) an organization founded by the Sisters of Saint-Paul to promote apostolate press. Created in the time of the Kulturkampf (a struggle between government and church), its purpose was to defend conservative Catholic ideas, particularly from the left wing and liberal press. Its initial subtitle was Journal catholique quotidien. Following World War II, it served to promote Francophone Catholic ideas. Until 1965, most of its editorial staff was the religious, but following 1970 on its editor in chief François Gross [fr] promoted more liberal and critical ideas, resulting in its popularity spreading outside the canton. It is the only Francophone daily paper in Fribourg.

In 2006, its circulation was 38,600. St-Paul closed its printing sector in 2014, following the loss its main outside client, the Freiburger Nachrichten [de]. As a result printing of the paper moved out of Fribourg. It is one of the few Francophone Swiss papers to not be run by the major media companies. Other papers run by Saint-Paul SA include La Gruyère, La Broye Hebdo and Le Messager. The company began collaborating in its publishing with ESH Médias, a publishing company for several other papers, in 2016. This contract was terminated in 2022 over editorial differences.
