The audiovisual media make their ecological transition: the environment and climate change are a leitmotiv of the re-entry grids of television and radio stations, which multiply the new chronicles, broadcasts, podcasts or even special evenings on this theme. hot news.
On the public service side, France Télévisions has made ecology a priority for the 2019-2020 season. With new fiction, documentaries and appointments on its antennas, and a new "signature" to identify this theme, "France TV Nature".
"Yes, France Télévisions is committed to raising awareness of the challenges of our planet and contributing to the common good.This commitment responds to the urgency of the moment but also the expectation of our audience," explained in June the number two of the group Takis Candilis, presenting these new programs.
Among them, a big operation with Nicolas Hulot, looking like ecological telethon, to encourage viewers, step by step to make donations, but to take actions to save the planet. France 2 will also broadcast "On the Front", special nights hosted by its new recruit Hugo Clement, while France 5 will propose "Green Blood", a series of documentaries on environmental scandals, resulting from an international investigation project.
France Inter has also decided to green its grid a little more, by creating the daily magazine "La terre au carré", which is added, in particular, to the Sunday show "CO2 mon amour".
- "Changing behaviors" -
Not to mention franceinfo which has been offering since the end of 2018 "Alerte pollution", a device that allows residents to report to their journalists situations that are then the subject of investigations or reports.
The M6 group and its subsidiary RTL are also putting the package back on the environment, and have entered into a partnership with the foundation GoodPlanet Yann Arthus-Bertrand. The photographer and nature defender will offer a weekly column starting this Sunday, and M6 will be programming his new documentary event "Legacy" ten years after "Home".
"We want to change the behavior," assured the new director of programs of the chain Guillaume Charles Tuesday, adding that special editions of emblematic programs E = M6 and Capital will be devoted to the environment.
In addition, RTL launches a new environmental column in "RTL Matin", "La minute verte" at 6:50 am, and gives a better maximum exposure to "C'est notre planète", now available at 8:15 am. Finally, she gave the example by contributing to the reforestation, by pledging to plant a tree each time she earns an RTL watch to her listeners, with the NGO Reforest'Action. We will be able to follow on its website the progress of this operation, which should allow to plant several thousand trees.
We can also mention RMC on which Géraldine de Mori presents since 19 August the chronicle "Objectif terre". And in the morning of Europe 1, the former Thalassa animator Fanny Agostini, who has just launched an ecological and educational farm in Auvergne, started a "chronicle on the farm" where it is about sustainable agriculture, health and food.
