Ptostevin Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 My son is doing a dissertation on the how tennis coverage varies between broadsheet and tabloid newspapers (referring nowadays to the type of coverage/target readership rather than the physical size of paper!) and besides comparing English newspapers he wants to include French ones as well. I had a look last week when we were in France and the only National Daily newspaper I could see that could be classed as a tabloid was 'Aujourdhui'. Does anyone know of any others? The problem then is trying to get back issues!Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarkkent Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 This isn't a direct answer to the question you posed, but he might find the BBC link below of value. It may be a mistake to think that "tabloid" and "broadsheet" are concepts that translate into direct equivalents in France.http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/3614785.stm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaligoBay Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 That was interesting, Clarkkent, the French Press in a nutshell.I think someone told me that Paris Soir is a bit tabloidish, but I could be completely wrong there, and I've never seen a copy anyway.Nice to see no mention whatsoever of that Aussie bloke, you know the one who started off by inheriting the Adelaide Standard or some such rag from his daddy, and who now owns a huge part of the world's press. If I could only remember his name.....Edit - just had to look for the Paris Soir online. Found it, it's all in French, then clicked on Paris Bordello (of course!), and guess what, it's all about TENNIS! In English, but it might give you some leads.....http://www.parisbordello.com/No idea who World News are, probably belongs to that Aussie bloke.

La vieille Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 Why not use "L'Eqipe"? Not a tabloid admittedly, but they are on-line and you can get back copies on-line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letrangere Posted November 6, 2004 Share Posted November 6, 2004 "It may be a mistake to think that "tabloid" and "broadsheet" are concepts that translate into direct equivalents in France."Yes, I was thinking along those lines too, look at le Monde. Quality of journalism disproportionate to its relative size. M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptostevin Posted November 8, 2004 Author Share Posted November 8, 2004 Thanks for the replies. We have been trawling the internet and its possible to download some newspapers from the past week but beyond that its down to searching the archives and most sites that have the facility are charging at least 3-4euros/article. If only he had decided on his dissertation in the summer it would have been a lot easier! We have got Le Monde but its the 'tabloid' thats the problem - time to resort to writing some letters to see if we can buy back issues.
