What would you recommend as a reliable French newspaper?
by Colman (colman at eurotrib.com) on Fri Feb 23rd, 2007 at 09:02:27 AM EST
About French politics, le Canard enchaîné. But it's mostly about politicians and their infighting...

And isn't on-line ...

That, too :). You can't find it at a press seller close by?

That's a real question too : I can get a reasonable selection of Foreign press in Paris (and in most French cities). Is that possible everywhere in Europe ?

In Dublin? It's never occurred to me to look. I think Le Monde and (maybe) Liberation are about the limit here.

I don't know for Dublin, but in San Francisco, you can find most of these, including "Le Canard" at the Café de la Presse on Grant Ave., right across the Chinatown entrance...

It's not that easy to get foreign media in the provinces: we can get a couple of the core European  papers - Die Welt and as above, El Pais, a few of the publications from Poland and other places that we have a large immigrant population from. But hardly a wide selection, as far as I can see.

Maybe in the main city centre branches I might do slightly better. I haven't looked to see what Borders carry in that line.

Strictly speaking, there isn't one.

As we're used to here - cross-refer, read more than one source. Be aware what's not said can be as important as what's said.

Online, I look at Le Monde, Libé, the Nouvel Obs. The Figaro can be a source in time of peace, but at the moment it's a Sarko war machine.

Offline, the Chained-Up Duck.

The same for me

And foreign media online...

reading several sources is the best thing to do.

I do:  I read ET!

Seriously, I read no individual paper, but go to my daily "sources of sources" that I find reliable and pick and choose links from all the English and Spanish.  I wish I knew enough French.
