Director of France 24

France 24’s four channels, in French, English, Arabic and Spanish,

have enhanced their editorial offering to be as close as possible to our

audience and cover all the major international news.

Our programmes are adapted to a fast-changing world in which

geopolitical and ecological crises are multiplying, not to mention the

technological revolutions that sometimes fuel misinformation.

France 24 is now geared with new information segments and more live

coverage. However, live coverage does not mean going faster; on the

contrary, it is about taking the time to go out into the f ield to check the

news, and to explain, analyse, and contextualise the events in order to

better understand the issues at stake.

Every day, our programmes and exclusive reports dissect 3 or 4 major

international news from different angles, with reports from our

200 correspondent networks around the world and our 540 journalists

of 40 different nationalities. Such a commitment allows us to always

stay as close as possible to the events.

We are going to take the time to listen to all the voices and opinions.

Take the time to debunk the fake news that f loods our social media.

Take the time to investigate, but also adopt a lighter approach to avoid

‘information fatigue’ by discussing f ilm, theatre, music and sport. And

indeed, 2024 has been a great sporting year for us with the Olympic

and Paralympic Games in Paris!

In concrete terms, we are strengthening our programme schedules by

adapting them to all our viewers. The emphasis is placed on African

news on the French channel, with ‘Journal de l’Afrique’ now available

seven days a week, while the weekends are dedicated particularly to

social, cultural, and health topics. Our weekend evening content on the

Arabic-language channel has also been refurbished, with more live

broadcasts, features and analysis. Meanwhile, the English-language

channel is expanding its news coverage across all time zones, with a

particular focus on Asia. Last but not least, the channel in Spanish has

also launched a new look.

All these new programmes are rolled out across our digital platforms,

from websites to social media, as we offer 360° news.

We are with our audience every day and everywhere.

An international channel,

where news never sleeps.
