- AUDIOVISUAL (Liberation) – Fifteen terrestrial television frequencies are being put back into play. An operation whose prospects are highly uncertain for applicants, but which raises the question of editorial diversity on our TV channels. The newspaper Ouest-France sees it as an opportunity to develop its offering at the national level and the web TV Le Média wishes to assert an "alternative" editorial line.
- PUBLIC SERVICE (Télérama) — A pinch of INA, a touch of France Télévisions, a bit of Radio France and you get « France Médias ». Here is the first step in the public audiovisual merger wanted by the government. But the project raises numerous questions about its editorial independence as well as its funding.
- PLATFORMS (Washington Post) — Frustrated with media coverage of student activism on American campuses, some young people are now turning to streamers who cover the movement on Twitch from the ground. A phenomenon partly explained by distrust of traditional media as well as a desire for transparency and authenticity.
- FREEDOM (The Guardian) — For World Press Freedom Day, UNESCO released its report on the safety of journalists covering environmental news. It reveals an increasingly dangerous profession, with an average of 50 attacks per year between 2009 and 2023, including 300 over the past five years.
- INDEPENDENCE (Mediapart) — Under the terms of neighbouring rights, Google was ordered to pay a sum of money to French media outlets for using their content. But, due to confidentiality clauses, this amount cannot be disclosed. Mediapart, which publishes its accounts every year, has therefore chosen not to use it in order to preserve its « relationship of trust » with its readers.
- AI (Numerama) — Want some more Google? The company announced it plans to increase AI usage in its search engine to answer user questions directly. A significant upheaval that risks coming at the expense of media outlets whose content will be used without a clear compensation model.
- MEDIA (Heidi.news) — " Media outlets are falling apart and, too often, they're dragging themselves down " sums up Heidi.news. Oops. Forget what was said about Google—it's time for some good news, as the Swiss media outlet wants to lift our spirits. As part of a series of articles prepared specially for its 5th anniversary, Heidi went out to meet these media outlets that are thriving, like Vert, Tortoise or Axios.
- COMMUNICATION (Mediavivant) — Mediavivant, the media outlet that tells its investigations on stage, fully embraces its theatrical nature by posting posters in the streets designed specifically for each performance. A way to bypass social networks for its communications and truly establish itself in the local landscape.
- INDEPENDENCE (Arrêt sur images) — How do you investigate the far right when society itself is becoming far-right? This was precisely the subject of the latest episode of Arrêt sur images broadcast on Twitch. For the occasion, Mathieu Molard, co-editor-in-chief of StreetPress, explained how the media goes about it through a range of formats.
- PLATFORM (The Verge) — Discord is no longer just for gamers. For businesses — and media outlets — the platform offers a space conducive to building community. In some cases, the tool has replaced forums or wikis by hosting large amounts of information on niche topics. A shift that is pushing the platform to reconsider its role and responsibilities regarding moderation and content preservation.
