PARIS, FRANCE
PARIS -- Le Gorafi, France's leading satirical website whose deadpan fake news has been producing laughter and accidental sharing since 2012, has launched a monthly print newspaper. The bet is that satire delivered on paper, outside the algorithm, has a 2026 market among readers who want to laugh at the news without training the algorithm to recommend increasingly extreme content in response to their laughter. The print format gives the satirist a specific freedom: the reader has chosen to hold the paper, which means a more intentional commitment than encountering satire in an uncurated feed. French satirical tradition runs from Voltaire through Charlie Hebdo to Le Gorafi. The Paris Fool shares this tradition across the Channel. Paper still works. More at prat.uk.
