On the occasion of the 34th School Press and Media Week, Le Parisien – Today in France lifts the veil on its manufacturing secrets. From March 27 to 31, the newspaper exceptionally opens its doors to classes from all over Île-de-France. They will be able to talk to our reporters about how they work, visit our offices and attend our meetings.
Also throughout the week, the editorial team travels to schools, colleges and high schools to explain the job of journalist, while 5,000 copies of the daily will be distributed free of charge in classes. Also on the program, a webinar on sources of information, Tuesday, March 28, with our special envoys in Ukraine, in partnership with Clémi, the public operator responsible for media education.

In these very short videos intended for pupils and their teachers, journalists tell the backstage of subjects that have marked the past year: from the controversial interview with Omar Sy to the final of the Football World Cup, via the megafires in the Landes or the exclusive interview given to us by Olena Zelenska, the first Ukrainian lady.
