Paris Match is a French-language weekly news magazine. It covers major national and international news along with celebrity lifestyle features. Paris Match has been considered "one of the world's best outlets for photojournalism". Its content quality was compared to the American magazine Life. Paris Match's original slogan was "The weight of words, the shock of photos", which was changed to "Life is a true story" in 2008. Long coveted by Bernard Arnault, the magazine is owned by Vincent Bolloré.
