So what do yall think of France 24 as a source of news?
@BlackAzizAnansi As a Franco-American living in the States I watch it every morning with Euronews.
I think both together gives a good coverage of what's happening in the world.
I like that their news are about giving facts with relatively few "let's debate this info with a guest".
@BlackAzizAnansi I think it’s behind DW and EuroNews in terms of actual reporting. Heavy on panels, like a lot of French news outlets. But they put on decent commentators, and are not afraid to include actual leftists.
Note that the content is not identical across languages, and if you speak French that’s clearly the best way to watch it.
I don’t get it here anymore but I used to, and while it’s mandate is to present news more from a French-Euro perspective that an American-Anglo perspective, it’s pretty respected for its journalistic ethics and integrity. And it’s non-commercial, which automatically elevates it. I wish I still had it
@BlackAzizAnansi it’s perfectly fine but not much analysis. Kind of like old CNN.
Le monde is better and is available in English. Cost, I think, is $99/year.
I gave up NYTimes for Le Monde. Much better.
