Bon pour la tête (in English: Good for your head) is an independent French-speaking digital media outlet founded in Romandy in 2017.
After the closure of the weekly magazine L'Hebdo, edited in the city of Lausanne, former employees of L'Hebdo and Le Temps founded a non-profit association, Bon pour la tête, to support the launch of an independent news media outlet aiming to broaden the scope of information and debate. The group of journalists launched a crowdfunding campaign, and within five weeks, the campaign raised approximately 215,000 euros.
The media outlet publishes Swiss and international news coverage and in-depth analysis of various topics, including politics, the environment, history, culture, and humour. It also publishes original information, primarily in French, and curates articles published in other media outlets in and outside Switzerland.
Free of advertising, exclusive articles are protected behind a paywall and made available upon subscription, which finances the work that is "modestly remunerated". The organisation is run by the non-profit association Bon pour la tête, led by a committee of volunteers.
