IPM

IPM operates as a Belgian media group that publishes the French‑language newspapers La Libre Belgique and DH while also managing the news television channel LN24. Its core activities involve gathering, producing and distributing news content across print, online and broadcast platforms for audiences primarily in Belgium. The organisation serves the French‑speaking market of the country, delivering daily reporting on national and international affairs, culture, sport and business. Through its multiple titles and its brands’ digital editions, it provides continuous updates via websites and mobile applications, complementing its traditional print offerings. The group’s multi‑channel approach allows it to reach readers, viewers and online users who prefer different formats for consuming news. Its headquarters are located in Belgium, anchoring its operations within the Belgian media landscape.

The group’s distinguishing attributes lie in its combination of established newspaper heritage with a modern 24‑hour news television service, positioning it as a versatile news provider in the Belgian French‑speaking media sector. While specific ownership details are not disclosed in the available sources, the organisation functions as a unified entity overseeing both print and broadcast assets under the IPM umbrella. In June 2024, IPM’s subsidiaries La Libre Belgique, DH and LN24 were targeted by a cyberattack that disrupted printing workflows, forced simplified print editions and caused delays in physical distribution, while also limiting access to digital platforms. The incident required the activation of contingency measures to maintain partial output across its media channels. This event highlighted the organisation’s reliance on integrated production systems and its need for robust cybersecurity resilience.
