We break out, but it’s for your good. It is the small music of the Directorate of France Inter and Radio France, which, after having tumbled the political humor last year on the station, replaced by quiet amusers, decided to tackle the investigation. Céline Pigalle, the Director of Information of Radio France, received journalists from Info Secrets, the Inter show broadcast on Saturday at 1:25 p.m., to tell them that their program is therefore not only moved to the grid, but also divided by four. From now on, it will only take place once a month, in place of interceptions, the broadcast of Sunday reports at 9 am.
A way to weaken the two journalistic genres: the investigation and the report? Information has appeared on the website of New obs, And was confirmed by phone by the team, who still hopes to be able to move the lines. Secrets d’Info is a unique program of its kind on radio. It is also one of the international investigative consortia: that is to say its level of requirement. Created in 2014 by Mathieu Aron and Jacques Monin, it brings together every Saturday 1st, 6 million listeners. Today, Benoît Collombat holds the reins today.
In recent years, it has revealed the scandals of polluted tap water, the sexual violence exercised by Father Pierre, the way in which “La Big Tech” invests the school of the Republic. Five journalists work on this demanding format, which is a specificity of the public service, which has the means to withstand pressure, economic and political. Besides, in 2017, it is this same cell, recalls l’Obswhich had unearthed the case of the bribes of the modem, and led to the resignation of three ministers, including François Bayrou. A coincidence?
A little death for info secret
Céline Pigalle’s justifications leave dreamy. She explains, basically, that it is necessary to give more time to journalists … story that they can bounce more on the news. “Journalists are so devoured by the show that they do not always have the ability to take up the subjects that arise in the news, which are essential because they must feed information of info” Céline Pigalle continues with the NEW OBS.
“The new monthly program will be an event: journalists will therefore have more time. I want to defend the label “Investigation cell” “. It offers a review clause in the fall … Once the back -to -school grids have started. This disappearance of the antenna is a kind of little death, and the journalists concerned are not mistaken. “We are going to be absorbed by interception, we will lose our identity because a monthly frequency, it exists on TV, not on radio”they assure.
“You have to stop mixing everything: it is not at all a recovery. If I wanted to hide the investigation, I wouldn’t do that ”, defends Céline Pigalle. However, the directive comes from the management of Radio France, and not from France Inter. And inexorably leads to invisibilization. Sibyle Veil, the Pdgère de Radio France, Adèle Van Reeth, the director of France Inter, can boast of not making a political takeover of the antenna: in fact, between the Guillaume Meurice affair last year, the disappearance of the Oh so insolent program by Charline Vanhonaecker and this raid on the investigation, it is the very heart of the antenna. In the midst of a debate on public audiovisual, and while Radio France staff have been called to an unlimited strike since June 26, the case clearly shows a desire to break the public tool, which belongs to all citizens.
