The press distribution market in France is organised by law around a principle of cooperation and  operates on three levels :

• Press messaging :  MLP is one of the three companies which distributes publications nationally.

• An intermediary network : press wholesalers : They play a central role in the transfer of information between publishers and retailers. They also supply newsagents with the press allocated to them by the three express services and some publishers, notably the Regional Daily Press. They are not in competition with each other and have exclusive distribution rights for a given geographic area.

• Press retailers (newsagents) : The retailer's role is defined by the wholesaler/retailer contract. Newsagents may only acquire publications from the depositary, who is exclusively responsible for the distribution of its publications.
