The headquarters of the magazine is in Paris, and it was previously published on a monthly basis.
Although Politis has a left-wing stance it has no political affiliation and publishes articles by the figures from various leftist parties and organizations, including French Communist Party (PCF), the New Anti-Capitalist Party (NPA), ATTAC and the Alternatifs movement. The magazine has also an ecologist approach.
