It is like a closed cosmopolitan theater where you immediately feel immersed in an atmosphere without ceremony, but with a strong sense of hospitality, to participate in the debate. Where we chat, there we share!
I’m going to take you on a visit to an unknown, warm and noisy land, in what seems like a relaxing, but very serious, odyssey, where we plunge straight into one of France’s friendliest media. Welcome to Release ! free for close friends!
A table where thousands of interesting, exciting, funny, disturbing and surprising life stories from four corners of the country and the world are told in the same language: truth!
Our job as children’s book writers is to tell stories. Their job as journalists is to tell stories. Together, we speak truth on a human level, in places, and in everyday life.
With regard to the application of journalism, the invited children’s writers, through their sharp and benevolent outlook at the same time, demonstrated their talent in depicting today’s subjects with wit and humor. Artists’ vision but a sharp vision, by placing their pen, their gaze, their drawings on a human level, they also seek the notes of truth and accuracy.
This edition has come a long way. We immerse ourselves in it with direct involvement. Eyes hear, ears see. Atmosphere question!
From microforest affairs in Montreuil by Marie Colot, illustrated by Caroline Péron, to the hunt for environmental activists by Ivan Péault, including an interview with Claire Bourdille on childism by Coline Pierré, Insa Sané’s favorite for the African Cup, forgotten cinema pioneer Charley Bowers by Alice Butaud, articles on Shein and generation Z by Fanny Chartres, comic books by Clémence Lallemand about Ukraine, exhibitions Pinch views by Kamel Benaouda, portrait of Leïla Ka drawn by Donatien Mary… All this will definitely make you look at these moments of life and capture details, expressions, madness, joy, pain that you did not expect and that go against our most absurd prejudices.
In short, this delicious piece of journalism should achieve its goal: to provide a beautiful and irresistible desire for a better life together in the world.
