For Hervé Brusini, president of the Albert Londres prize. “The lengthening of the duration of the news is symptomatic. The challenge is to find a little rationality through journalistic work. The big 8pm meeting is restored. It is also the time chosen to applaud caregivers”.

For Tristan Vey of the Science & Medicine department of Le Figaro , “It’s historic to have a subject that takes precedence over all other news. We were put at the center of the village. We opened the editorial conference with news of the epidemic, medical research and public health decisions. This allowed us to give the main directions to the political and international department.”
