Minute Newspaper Information

Minute is a weekly newspaper, initially right-wing but now extreme-right, circulated in France since 1962. Its editorial position is satirical and conservative. According to figures announced by the paper's leadership, it had a circulation of 40,000 copies each week in 2006.

For the 2006 FIFA World Cup, Minute headlined with "Are there too many blacks in the French team?". The issue released before the world cup final led "Bye-bye hooligan" with a photo of Zinedine Zidane, who had been sent off the field after head-butting an Italian player who had insulted him. The article which followed compared Zidane to a hooligan from the banlieue, the rough suburbs.
