What score for the Trump / Biden debate? What are the best children's books of the year? How did "Charlie Hebdo" celebrate its 50th anniversary?

The truth interview with Delphine Ernotte.

In preview, "Culture Médias" was able to obtain the interview that the boss of France Televisions granted to the magazine "Forbes" and which will appear tomorrow.

Freshly reappointed at the head of the public group for a second term, Delphine Ernotte is questioned about her priorities, her vision of the company, but also about a departure that has caused much ink to flow: that of Patrick Sébastien.

We have read and heard a lot about the eviction of the host.

He has not spared the management of France 2 over the past two years in numerous interviews, but on the channel side, we had until then remained fairly silent.

In the interview she gives to "Forbes", Delphine Ernotte is invited to explain why she decided to terminate Patrick Sébastien's contract.

And according to her, the only person responsible for this departure is Patrick Sébastien.

This is what she explains to the magazine "Forbes": "The program, which was formidable in some ways, was getting a little older. Not so much the numbers that were presented as what was going on around them. The audience was dropping sharply. asked Patrick Sébastien to evolve, to modernize the concept but he declined. Patrick Sébastien is very talented, he's a great animator, he knows how to spot incredible talents. I would have sincerely preferred him to tell us: 'OK , I understand, we work '. We would always have it on the air ".

Delphine Ernotte is running for another position.

She is a candidate for the presidency of European public broadcasting, a strategic position at a time when the alliance of European channels with streaming platforms seems vital.

She joined forces with the director general of Czech public television to form a pair.

We will know tomorrow if their application has been accepted!

On the night of Tuesday to Wednesday, Joe Biden and Donald Trump scrambled on American TV.

Much has been said about the debate this Wednesday, or rather the lack of debate.

90 minutes of cries, invective and even insults, this is what we learned from this first confrontation between the two candidates for the US presidential election.

This match was extremely followed in the United States, the audiences are stratospheric.

Sixteen American channels broadcast it, and in total, they gathered 73 million viewers, it is the second best score of a presidential debate for 24 years.

But we are far from the score recorded by the first debate of 2016 between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.

First because tradition dictates that there are three debates, and that should still be the case this year.

In 2016, therefore, the Trump / Clinton match had been watched by 84 million Americans.

Note that of all the channels that broadcast the debate, Fox News ranked first with nearly 18 million viewers, ahead of ABC at 13 million.

This Wednesday, the moderator of the debate, Chris Wallace, expressed his regret.

In an interview with the "New York Times", the journalist of Fox News, extremely respected on the other side of the Atlantic, said he was disappointed by the spectacle offered.

"I could never have imagined it would go off the rails like this. I'm a professional, I've never seen anything like it," he explained.

He admitted that it took too long to try to control the debate: "I know people wonder why I did not intervene sooner. I think I did not realize that this was going to be the president's strategy, not only for the beginning of the debate, but for the whole ". 

Some have raised the possibility of allowing the moderator to mute the microphone of either candidate if necessary.

And Chris Wallace is not frankly in favor: "In practical terms, even if the president's microphone had been cut, he could have continued to interrupt Joe Biden, and we could even have heard him through Biden's microphone."

And indeed, one can wonder how the supporters of one or the other would have reacted, as Chris Wallace points out: "It must be remembered that these two candidates have the support of tens of millions of Americans". 

The "Journal de Mickey" awarded its Readers' Grand Prize.

We imagine that the discussions were more peaceful than between Donald Trump and Joe Biden.

For the 18th year, the weekly called on a jury of readers aged 8 to 14 to elect the novel of the year and the comic strip of the year.

Louise Bernard asked Edith Rieubon, editor-in-chief of Mickey's diary, why this Prize was created.

The magazine called for nominations in March to find these young jurors, and received more than 500 responses, of which sixteen were shortlisted and spent their summer reading.

We spoke with Edith Rieubon about this selection process.

As for the novel, "The incredible journey of Coyote Sunrise" by Dan Gemeinhart, story of the road trip by bus of a girl and her father.

Comic strip side, "Lulu and Nelson" by Jean-Marie Omont, Aurélie Neyret and Charlotte Girard, in which we follow a young Italian landed in South Africa where she meets young Nelson.

50 years of "Charlie Hebdo" in the pages of "Libé"!

"Charlie Hebdo" invites itself to "Libé".

"On the occasion of its 50th anniversary, the satirical weekly invests our columns".

This is what we can read on the front page of "Libé" this morning, the front page of which was signed by designer Coco.

Not a single photo appears in this issue of the daily, all the illustrations were made by designers from the satirical weekly.

There are also comments from the editorial staff of "Charlie" in reaction to some of the articles of the day.

Why is "Charlie" celebrating his 50th birthday in the columns of "Libé"?

The daily recalls in a little "making of" that it was he who hosted the weekly's team in its premises after the 2015 attacks. It was there that the "Charlie" team had produced the "survivors' number" which had sold more than eight million copies a few weeks after the tragedy.

"They are at home here. They came, they are all there, those who remained alive like those who arrived at 'Charlie' after the attack, and who are constantly threatened, hunted down, watched, or who are isolated from everyone. to be able to draw and write ”, explains“ Libé ”in the“ making of ”of this special edition.“ They participated in our editorial conference, launched ideas, asked questions, then began to write and draw in our pages ".
