The drafting of Sunday newspaper (JDD), on strike for thirty-two days once morest the appointment as its head of Geoffroy Lejeune, former editorial director of the magazine Current valuessaid to himself, Tuesday, July 25, “more determined than ever”lamenting the “unilateral decision” of Lagardère, owner of the title, to break off the negotiations.
Monday evening, the media group, in the process of being absorbed by that of billionaire Vincent Bolloré, Vivendi, announced in a press release that Geoffroy Lejeune, marked on the far right, ” will take[it] effective editorial management” from 1is august.
The management of Lagardère News thus regretted “the position of the Society of Journalists (SDJ), which does not seem to have taken into account the proposed openings” and has “leads to a breakdown in negotiations, which is detrimental to both journalists and readers”.
“I regret this outcome (…). No one can dispute the shareholder’s right to appoint the managing editor. It’s the law. (…) I say it once more, we will not do JDD an ideological tract nor a militant newspaper. This far-right fantasy is unfounded and contemptuous. THE JDD will remain a general information publication, general public and open to all currents of thought.wrote Arnaud Lagardère, quoted by the press release.
The editorial staff “willing to pursue a constructive dialogue”
The editorial staff returned the ball, regretting in turn in a press release “the unilateral decision of the management of Lagardère News to break off negotiations aimed at ending the crisis”. “She is also surprised by the announcement of the arrival” by Geoffroy Lejeune « the 1is August, even though 98% of the editorial staff oppose it and refuse to work with him”.
Writing “also deplores that management has chosen to ignore the very many proposals formulated jointly by the SDJs of the JDD and of Paris Match [qui appartient à Vincent Bolloré] to reinforce the editorial independence of the two titles”.
“More determined than ever”elle “remains ready to pursue a constructive dialogue to find a favorable outcome” to the crisis.
The continuation of the movement, renewed massively this weekend, must be the subject of a new vote on Tuesday morning. This mobilization is unprecedented in seventy-five years of the existence of the JDD and in the French press since 1975. The situation of the weekly recalls the strikes of Europe 1 in 2021 and of i-Télé (become CNews, property of Vivendi) in 2016, concluded each time by massive departures.
