On February 24, 2022, after months of tension between Moscow and kyiv, the Russian army deployed its soldiers to Ukraine.
A month before the start of the military operation,
20 Minutes
opened a continuous article, a "live", to cover throughout the day and night information on diplomatic tensions, then the conflict.
It has now been ten months since the editorial staff of the media has produced a live report on this war at the gates of the European Union every day.
Marion Pignot, head of news at
20 Minutes
in Paris, leads the team responsible for these daily articles, continuously, on Ukraine.
Why did you launch these articles continuously, for what purposes?
What information is selected in these papers and how is it organized?
What difficulties for journalists who have been writing these articles for ten months?
All the answers from journalist Marion Pignot in this episode of “Minute Papillon!
".
“We opened the “live” Ukraine for the first time on January 26, 2022, a month before the start of what Moscow still calls “the special military operation” in Ukraine, says Marion Pignot in this episode.
At that time, one felt the rise of tensions between Kyiv and Moscow.
(…) We found it logical to launch this "live" to gather every day, in this long daily paper, all the information and all the formats that allow us to cover the conflict exhaustively.
Ten months later, 330 “live” articles were written, in 290 days of war.
