Re: Le Monde, Journal of Record (4.00 / 2)

And let's have the charity of not talking about the degradation of, say, the cinema critics... Or the piece of fluff that is the daily portrait (with all respect to Jerôme)

Cinéma critic (4.00 / 2)

Their movie critic is so ... so ... (the words fail me). Anyway, any movie that Le Canard Enchainé likes and that Le Monde does not is a sure bet to be enjoyable.

Portraits (none / 1)

Even before I had the chance of having a full page on myself, I like these portraits. These, and some of their newer pages, like the two-page reports on various topics, and other in depth analysis they print, are some of the best things they've done in a long time.

i.e. their comments and in depth analysis pages have really improved, as their news pages have clearly declined a bit.

Re: Portraits (none / 1)

I must admit to not having read Le Monde much since the nouvelle formule, but the times I did, I always found the portrait to be too hagiographic for my taste (and also compared to Libé's... Why did they end up copying Libé, too ? they even are starting to have an "ecology" page..). Maybe I had bad luck.

Re: Portraits (none / 0)

But hagiography of Jerome is definitely a good thing ;-)

Portraits and in-depth analysis (none / 1)

I agree with you on these features. In fact they are the only pages I keep to read them later...
