About Ecostylia

Independent French Media — French Perspectives for Free Minds

Ecostylia is a French online press service, officially recognized by the State. Born in Paris in 2023, accredited in 2025, independent from day one. Every morning, we choose what deserves your attention — and leave the noise at the door. Society, culture, sciences, sport, fashion, living: six sections, in French and in English.

Why read a French outlet in English? Because France looks different from the inside. We write from Paris — not about the France of postcards, but the one we live in. Our promise fits in one phrase: the ecology of information. Sort, verify, condense. Nothing superfluous.

Recognized by the French State — a very French thing

State-recognized online press service (CPPAP)

Ecostylia — formerly Ecostylia Magazine — has been a recognized online press service since 2025 (CPPAP no. 0326 Z 95416).

In France, the press is not only a market. It is an institution, with its own keeper: the CPPAP, a joint commission where the State and the press professions sit as equals. It decides which titles legally qualify as press, under the law of August 1, 1986.

There is no exact equivalent in the United States or Britain. Think of it as a press credential that is audited, time-limited, and renewable — never bought. It certifies original general-interest content, continuously renewed. A professional newsroom. A publication director who answers for every line. And an editorial independence that is actually checked.

Our listing, in the Z series, recognizes a service “largely devoted to political and general information”. The next step — the IPG qualification, the most demanding in the French press — is our ambition as the newsroom grows.

What you read here engages the responsibility of a press publication, under French press law.

An emerging newsroom — our story

Ecostylia was born in 2023 from an audacious bet. Two founders, no media group behind them, no fundraising. Just the urge to prove you can still build a press title in France.

On one side, Pierre-Antoine Tsady, an entrepreneur shaped by luxury, art and publishing. He believes information deserves better than the noise. On the other, Yoann Pantic, an engineer and AI expert. He believes technology should serve rigor, never dilute it. The first brought the editorial line; the second, the technology.

Two years later came the recognition. In 2025, the CPPAP — the joint commission attached to the French Ministry of Culture — accredited Ecostylia as an online press service. For a newsroom born without backing, this is no formality. It validates a model: an emerging press can be demanding.

Independence has a price, and we pay it gladly. Ecostylia lives on its own funds and on its readers’ donations. No shareholder to please, no dictated line, no disguised sponsored content. If our pages are useful to you, your support — however modest — funds the newsroom directly.

What we cover

Six sections draw our identity:

  • Society — general news, analysis, the facts that run through French life.
  • Culture — cinema, series, music, literature, exhibitions.
  • Sciences — discoveries, research, demanding popularization.
  • Sport — tactical and socio-economic analysis, athletes, the great fixtures.
  • Fashion — designers, the economics of textile, trends analyzed rather than relayed.
  • Living — food, travel, well-being, without lifestyle injunctions.

Add one rendezvous: Astro, contemporary astrology by Serena Celesta. As for the Interview, it is not a section. It is our signature — it runs across all of them.

And two registers of articles, mirrored on our homepage.

The news, our way. Every day, the essentials of our six sections: verified facts, cited sources, short formats, zero hype. Neutral and factual — at least we strive to be, every morning. When we get it wrong, we correct it and say so. Spotted an error? Tell us via the contact page.

The long reads. In-depth interviews, reportage, investigations, exclusive content. People with something to say, words gathered first-hand. Things you will read nowhere else. Field journalism, built on encounters.

What AI does not replace

Like every newsroom of our generation, we use artificial intelligence. A working tool — for monitoring, fact-checking, formatting. But a tool does not make a media outlet.

What makes Ecostylia cannot be automated. The trust a source grants before opening up. The human contact, the field, the handshake. The call: choosing what deserves publication, and what does not. The intent, finally — what separates informing from filling.

AI produces text. A newsroom produces judgment.

The masthead

Pierre-Antoine Tsady — founder, publication director and editor-in-chief

Pierre-Antoine Tsady founded Ecostylia in 2023 with a simple conviction: moins, mais mieux — less, but better. An entrepreneur, he comes from luxury, art and publishing. As publication director, he answers for every line published. As editor-in-chief, he sets the line and conducts the magazine’s long interviews.

A man of culture first: cinema, series, classical music, literature. Across the table: creators, executives, artists, researchers. His talent: earning the trust of people who have something to reveal. And getting them to say what you will read nowhere else.

Yoann Pantic is CTO and co-founder of Ecostylia and Data Éclosion. An expert in AI systems architecture, in data architecture and governance, he stands for one conviction: European digital sovereignty. At Ecostylia, he designed the technical architecture of the media. And he keeps technology in its place: a tool serving the newsroom.

He writes, too. Space — from Artemis to the French astronauts —, artificial intelligence and digital sovereignty, the economics underneath. Interviews with researchers and decision-makers. His style: clear, jargon-free, sourced.

The newsroom

Different beats, one standard. Some of our bylines are pen names — a tradition as old as the press itself. Behind them, real people, who write and verify.
