What Streetpress does

StreetPress is an independent French online investigative news outlet ("Le magazine Urbain") that publishes free journalism on social justice, far-right movements, migration, justice, and precarity. The publication operates from its headquarters at 61 rue de Lyon in the 12th arrondissement of Paris and is legally organized as StreetPress SAS, a private French simplified joint-stock company (RCS Paris 522 306 505) with a stated share capital of 5,438 euros. It is registered with CPPAP (Commission paritaire des publications et agences de presse) under number 1026 Y 90833, with Johan Weisz-Myara serving as publication director (directeur de publication).

The company's product surface is built around a digital publishing platform (streetpress.com) that distributes written investigative articles, video documentaries, and curated email newsletters to readers. Core content is organized into editorial rubrics — Enquêtes, Justice, Extrême droite, Précaires, Exilés, and Vidéos — and is delivered across owned web properties (streetpress.com, soutenir.streetpress.com, streetprod.tv, cartofaf.streetpress.com). Supplemental offerings include Le Club StreetPress (a paid supporter community), recurring newsletters, in-person and online events, and professional training seminars/webinars. No mobile applications, public APIs, or AI/ML capabilities are disclosed in the source data; the underlying technology is described only as a digital publishing platform with no proprietary features flagged.

StreetPress generates revenue almost entirely from individual reader donations and recurring subscriptions rather than advertising or paywalls. Its homepage explicitly states that information must remain free and accessible to all ("L'INFO DOIT ÊTRE ACCESSIBLE À TOUS"), while soliciting voluntary financial support ("StreetPress est gratuit et le restera. Mais elle a un coût"). The business is operated with no disclosed external venture capital, private equity, or parent-company ownership, and is distributed through its own website plus organic social channels (X, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube). The publication is also affiliated with the Sphera European Independent Media Network, indicating cross-border collaboration with other independent media outlets.
