FRANCE 24 and the public media landscape: Who we are and where we come from

French connections

There is currently a debate in France about reforming the country's public TV and radio stations. We wanted to take this occasion to remind you about who we are and where we come from. Created in 2006, FRANCE 24 is part of a bigger entity called France Medias Monde, along with its international sister radio station RFI and the Arabic-language radio station MCD. Why was the channel launched in the first place? What is our budget? And who watches us? Florence Villeminot and Genie Godula take a look at how FRANCE 24 fits into the media landscape, as well as its driving philosophy.
