Founded in 2007 by French entrepreneur Nicolas Liénart, Paperblog came into being to offer a fresh approach to the conventional news and blogging scene. The idea sparked when Nicolas realized that while there were millions of talented independent bloggers on the internet, their best articles were often buried and hard for readers to find. He decided to create a platform that would curate and organize these high-quality blog posts into a single digital magazine, bringing visibility to everyday writers in a way that mainstream media was lacking. Today, the site continues to operate under its original independent management company, Paperblog SAS. Today, Paperblog is still run as a massive content hub and is focused on a wide variety of topics, including Entertainment, Lifestyle, Politics, Technology, Culture, and Sports. They're based in Paris, France, but operate in several different languages across the globe, making a name for themselves among readers looking for diverse perspectives and unique voices from all over the internet. One interesting fact: A unique fact about Paperblog is that it does not actually employ traditional journalists or write any of its own articles. Instead, the entire website is fueled by thousands of independent, everyday bloggers who apply to have their personal blog posts handpicked and featured by Paperblog's editorial team!
