Once upon a time… Le Moniteur!
Le Moniteur, the leading source of information for construction and regional planning professionals, is celebrating its 120th anniversary this year. To mark the occasion, the editorial team has put together a series of anniversary events to take a look back at some of the industry’s milestones, but also to sketch out its future.
In 1903, Louis Dubois, a journalist, deputy, and later a minister in the Third Republic, founded the “Journal de l’entreprise et de l’industrie,” published by the eponymous publishing house. The aim was to provide reliable and useful information to professionals in the industry.
The newspaper notably reported on new regulations in public works and started publishing legal and judicial announcements in 1908. This specialized press title would later become “Le Moniteur des Travaux Publics et du Bâtiment” in 1936. It quickly established itself as the primary source of information for professionals in the construction and urban development sectors in France.
With an engaged audience, the weekly magazine “Le Moniteur des Travaux Publics et du Bâtiment” consistently ranks in the top 10 of French economic magazines and professional press titles across all sectors.
The Moniteur Group gradually built itself around its flagship title, then expanded its activities by opening three Parisian bookstores exclusively geared towards a professional audience. A daily electronic edition was launched, featuring both free articles and exclusive content for subscribers.
The Moniteur also includes thematic newsletters, qualified databases, specialized services (including the Indices Index), and major events throughout the year like the Moniteur Innovation Day (#MID), over 2,000 training sessions, and conferences on key sector challenges.
A packed schedule to celebrate the 120th anniversary of Le Moniteur.
The entire editorial team of Le Moniteur is mobilizing to celebrate the 120th anniversary of the leading media outlet in the French construction and public works sector. On the agenda :
- A series of 6 podcasts dedicated to the history of construction over the last 120 years, with the participation of a key figure who will look back at a significant development in building, urban planning or infrastructure ;
- A special chronological feature, structured in 20-year instalments since 1903, is planned for the autumn of 2023. Readers will be able to step back in time to the major events in the building industry, (re)discover the ideas that revolutionised urban planning and relive the major milestones of the magazine, from 1903 to 2023 ;
- The gala evening on 4 July 2023, brings together all the major players in the construction industry: partners, thinkers and decision-makers.
