- NEWS (Mediapart) — The States General for Information (SGI) resulted in 15 proposals out of 200 formulated by working groups. Although they aim to address press concerns on many issues, they leave somewhat unresolved crucial challenges such as safeguarding independence, ensuring the sustainability of media business models, and journalist safety.
- INDEPENDENCE (Green) — While part of the independent press believes that the EGIs ultimately failed to address its concerns, its stakeholders are taking the initiative and organizing themselves. Media village at the Fête de l'Humanité, launch of a cooperative, creation of a Free Media House… These initiatives reflect a shared commitment: to unite in order to strengthen their finances, their impact and their independence.
- FORMATS (Distill) — With interactive articles, media outlets can allow their readers to interact with data, explore current issues, or play games to better understand a topic. This study analyzed approximately sixty examples from journalism, research, and education.
- AI (The Guardian) — Paid to train the artificial intelligences that could replace them. It's a paradoxical situation, worthy of a dystopia, in which journalists, writers and researchers find themselves. Despite the risks to the future of their professions, they are working to feed these tools in exchange for substantial compensation.
- LOCAL (Nieman Lab) — La Converse, VTDigger, Jersey Bee … A brief roundup of these innovative local news organizations working to reach their audiences more effectively, produce journalism that serves their communities, and strengthen their business models.

A model that aims to stand out from a "race for clicks" and restore an artistic dimension to journalism.
- COMMUNITY (Medians) — To foster a sense of community, several media outlets invite their readers to join their "club". A way to get involved in the newsroom's life, influence its strategic choices and editorial offerings. This is the case with Chut! and also Vert who shared their experience with us.
- AUDIENCE (INMA) — Eyes on the numbers, they keep watch for trends, cross-reference data and track KPIs. Behind the jargon and endless spreadsheets, these audience experts help understand what a media's audience expects and identify the best way to meet those needs. Underappreciated work, sometimes even by journalists themselves, yet essential.
- DATA (Arte) — With its series "Sources," Arte offers a captivating immersion into OSINT practice, an investigative method based on the use of publicly available information. An approach that is gaining in popularity, appealing to more and more newsrooms and schools that now offer specialized training.
