 | | Belgium's French language press is also dominated by three large groups: N.V. Rossel (Le Soir, La Meuse, La Lanterne, La Nouvelle Gazette, La Province), IPM (La Libre Belgique, La Dernière Heure)and Mediabel (Vers l'Avenir, Le Jour/Le Courrier, Le Courrier de l'Escaut, l'Avenir de Luxembourg, Le Rappel). |
 | | In May 1997, Vers l'Avenir obtained 51 per cent of IPM (La Dernière Heure, La Libre Belgique) so that the francophone press is approaching a duopoly situation: Rossel and IPM/Vers l'Avenir. |
 | | Their ownership structure continues to be Belgian, with the exception of Robert Hersant's share in Rossel (40 per cent since 1989) and La Voix du Nord's share in Rossel and Vers l'Avenir. |
