La Provence is a French regional newspaper publisher based in Marseille-en-Beauvaisis in the Hauts-de-France region. Its origins go back to two titles launched in 1944—the Provençal and the Méridional—and they merged to form La Provence in 1997 to strengthen the regional daily press amid industry pressures. The company focuses on delivering local and regional news to readers, supported by a sizable workforce. In 2007 the organization modernized its operations with new printing equipment and adopted the Berliner format, while also establishing a digital presence with a website. Later that year, Groupe Hersant Média became the owner of the La Provence group, reflecting a shift in ownership within the French press landscape. The publisher maintains its reporting through print and online platforms at laprovence.com.
