La Croix
La Croix is a French, Roman Catholic, daily newspaper. It is published in Paris and distributed throughout the country, although with a circulation of just under 100,000, it has less than a fourth of Le Monde's readership. It is neither explicitly liberal or conservative on major political issues, but follow's the Church's position. However, La Croix ought not be confused with a religious newspaper—its topics are of general interest: world news, the economy, religion & spirituality, parenting, culture and science. In December 2003, La Croix made headlines after firing one of its own journalists, Alain Hertoghe, for writing a book that was allegedly damaging to the newspaper's editorial line. Hertoghe accused the four major French newspapers—Le Monde, Le Figaro, Libération and Ouest-France—in addition to La Croix, of baised reporting during the U.S war in Iraq.
