On the menu of Antoine Genton's media newspaper this Friday: the arrival in newsstands of the new magazine “l'Envers des affaires”, the opening of a judicial investigation in the case of journalist Morgan Large and death by historian Marc Ferro, a figure in the Arte channel, at the age of 96.
"The reverse of business", the new magazine that arrives on newsstands this Friday
“The reverse side of business” is therefore its title.
This is a quarterly initiated by Karl Zéro.
He is the editor-in-chief and signs several articles there.
The magazine looks back on great affairs, sometimes mysterious stories, in lengthy investigations which are somewhat distant from the immediate news.
In this first issue, we find five subjects, that's all: the mysterious disappearance of flight MH370, the background of the Patrice Alègre case, the death of the Pisier sisters, Marie-France and Evelyne, drugs and the Nazis and a long investigation (it lasted several months) on the serial killer Michel Fourniret and his accomplices.
This investigation was carried out by the only journalist to have interviewed him in prison, Oli Porri Santoro.
The magazine has an affordable price, 5.95 euros.
A judicial investigation opened in the Morgan Large case in Brittany
It is a judicial investigation against X for “concerted interference with the freedom of expression” and for “destruction, degradation or deterioration of a property likely to create a danger”.
An examining magistrate will conduct the investigation.
This was announced by the Saint-Brieuc public prosecutor on Thursday, 10 days after the complaint from Morgan Large, this journalist whose car was sabotaged at the end of last month.
She had also received threats in recent months following her investigations into agribusiness in Brittany.
Often seen on television historian Marc Ferro is dead
Marc Ferro, one of the greatest French historians specializing in the USSR, Russia and the wars of the 20th century, died Thursday at the age of 96.
His face was known to viewers.
He had hosted a history show, “Parallel History”, on La Sept, then on Arte, from 1989 to 2001. Marc Ferro was also a film historian and documentary maker, in short, a man who was passionate about images.
The president of Arte, Bruno Patino, expressed Thursday of his “great sadness”.
“Arte owes him a lot,” he wrote on Twitter.
The "Guardian" returns part of the public aid it has received
In the United Kingdom, the newspaper "The Guardian" will return part of the public aid it received last year at the start of the health crisis.
It was then a question of enabling it to pay the salaries of some of its employees.
The media will therefore return 1.6 million pounds, or nearly 2 million euros.
The daily explains that his financial situation has improved significantly and that the effects of the health crisis are no longer being felt.
The Clubhouse app in decline
It is downloaded less and less: just under 3 million downloads last month against 9.5 million last February, a decrease of 72%.
This fall could be explained by the departure of some stars who left this social network of audio conversations after having made it known.
Clubhouse was valued just over 3 billion euros a few days ago.
Apple launches paid podcasts
The digital giant will offer an option that will allow podcast creators to offer paid subscriptions. It's up to them to set the price. Apple will receive 30% of revenue the first year and 15% thereafter. And the creators will have to pay an annual subscription of 20 euros to the American firm. It's a small revolution in the podcast industry that often struggles to get paid. Users would be ready to get their hands on the wallet: 65% of them would agree to pay according to a CSA - Havas Paris study published last year.
