Publications
The PCF publishes the following:
- Communistes (Communists)
- Info Hebdo (Weekly News)
- Economie et Politique (Economics and Politics)
Traditionally, it was also the owner of the French daily L'Humanité (Humanity), founded by Jean Jaurès. Although the newspaper is now independent, it remains close to the PCF. The paper is sustained by the annual Fête de L'Humanité festival, held in La Courneuve, a working class suburb of Paris. This event remains the biggest festival in France with 600,000 people during a three days festival.
During the 1970s, the PCF registered success with the children's magazine it founded, Pif gadget.
