A new magazine called Complorama has launched, focusing on the study of conspiracy theories and the battle against false information. Directed by Rudy Reichstadt, the magazine is the printed version of the Complorama podcast, which has been analyzing conspiracy theories and disinformation on franceinfo since January 2021. The first issue, available for pre-sale on Ulule, is a 164-page publication with no advertisements, ensuring editorial independence. It features contributions from journalists, academics, philosophers, and writers, discussing topics such as conspiracy theories aimed at judicial institutions and their influence on pop culture. The magazine is printed in quadrichrome, a four-color printing process, and has a size of 194 × 275 mm with a square spine. Its design aims to blend the aesthetics of a review with that of a book, offering a refined reading experience. The launch coincides with a crowdfunding campaign on Ulule, where contributors can pre-order the issue for 19.50 €. The editorial team includes members from Conspiracy Watch, a media outlet that has been monitoring and decoding conspiracy theories for nearly two decades. Other developments in the publishing world include the acquisition of Firebrand Group by Valsoft, which owns platforms like NetGalley and Edelweiss. A new card game titled Mon Rituel et Moi has also launched, aiming to promote personal development through a playful format.
