“Guarantee the independence of editorial staff”: journalists and media call on Rachida Dati. In a column in Le Monde, around forty journalists' societies, twenty media outlets and unions ask the Minister of Culture to do more.
“The one and only way to produce quality, verified, sourced and honest information is to guarantee the independent of journalists and editorial staff,” say the signatories of the platform. A bill from environmentalist MP Sophie Taillé-Polian, on the agenda of the National Assembly on April 4, provides for a right of approval for journalists on the appointment of the editorial director.
