The Alsatian newspaper Les Dernières nouvelles d'Alsace does not appear Wednesday. The workers who print the newspaper could not access the presses because of the Strasbourg shooting on Tuesday evening, regretted Dominique Jung, the editor of the DNA .
"Our rotativists who take their service in the evening arrived around 22 hours at the checkpoint near the headquarters of the newspaper, they declined their identity but could not pass," he said. The city center of Strasbourg, where are located the premises of the newspaper, was completely cordoned off after the attack on the Christmas Market which killed three people and a dozen injured around 20:00. The confinement was lifted only around 2:00 am, too late to print the newspaper.

"However, we proposed to the authorities to have rotationalists escort one by one, to give their identities, but we have not been heard," said Dominique Jung. "It would have been a hundred meters, and they were in our premises." A journalist from the daily, present in the premises Tuesday night, expressed his dismay on Twitter. "It's surreal: people are roaming freely under our windows in the city center of Strasbourg, but our rotativists have been prevented from going by."
