\u00c0 la une<\/em><\/strong> means \u00ab\u00a0on the front page,\u00a0\u00bb or at the head of the news stories. Ce soir, examinons ce qui est \u00e0 la une<\/strong> en France- ou bien, ce qui est enterr\u00e9 dans les pages au milieu\u00a0!<\/em><\/p>\n

Je me suis rendue compte <\/em>(I realized) que je n\u2019ai pas lu de journal en fran\u00e7ais<\/strong> <\/em>(that I haven\u2019t read a French newspaper<\/strong>) depuis… tr\u00e8s longtemps. Alors, corrigeons cette paresse <\/em>: let\u2019s correct that laziness, avec Le Monde<\/strong> !<\/em><\/p>\n

Le Monde<\/em><\/strong> is a French daily newspaper (un journal quotidien<\/strong>)<\/em> available online at www.lemonde.fr<\/a>. Hichem did an excellent\u00a0revue de presse<\/a> <\/em>summarizing les m\u00e9dias fran\u00e7ais<\/em>, placing Le Monde <\/em>at the center or center-right of the political spectrum. Quoi qu\u2019il en soit<\/em>, Le Monde <\/em>reliably offers an insight into les \u00e9v\u00e8nements mondiaux <\/em>(world events) as experienced by our Froggy friends.<\/p>\n

Ce soir, \u00e0\u00a0la une\u00a0:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

…Ok, real talk : Mainstream news is kind of boring. Au lieu de lire ce qui est \u00e0 la une, voici quelques histoires un peu uniques<\/em> (instead of reading what\u2019s on the front page, here are a few kind of unique stories)\u00a0:<\/p>\n

–Assassinat du patriarche du principal clan mafieux de Montr\u00e9al <\/a>:<\/p>\n

Histoire\u00a0: <\/em><\/strong>\u00ab\u00a0L’homme consid\u00e9r\u00e9 comme le patriarche du principal clan mafieux de Montr\u00e9al, Nicolo Rizzuto, 86 ans, a \u00e9t\u00e9 assassin\u00e9 chez lui mercredi soir…\u00a0\u00bb <\/em><\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0The man considered the patriarch of the principal mafia clan of Montreal, Nicolo Rizzuto, 86 years old, was assassinated at his home Wednesday night…\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n

Analyse<\/em><\/strong>: If we read this kind of article in French class, I\u2019d pay more attention. Also, ch\u00e8re <\/em>Bebeth (ma meilleure amie)<\/em>, il est maintenant interdit de d\u00e9menager \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al.<\/em><\/p>\n

—La junte birmane s’appr\u00eaterait \u00e0 lib\u00e9rer Aung San Suu Kyi:<\/a><\/p>\n

Histoire\u00a0: <\/em><\/strong>The Burmese junta\u2019s suppression of Aung San Suu Kyi, democratic activist and winner of a Nobel Prize for Peace, under house arrest may come to an end on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Analyse:<\/em><\/strong> Good news for her, bad news for the journalists who have to pronounce her name again.<\/p>\n

–A Londres, une manifestation d’\u00e9tudiants d\u00e9g\u00e9n\u00e8re<\/a><\/p>\n

Histoire\u00a0: <\/em>Londoners come together to protest raising school fees to <\/strong>\u00a36,000 (up to <\/strong>\u00a39,000 in some cases).<\/p>\n

Analyse\u00a0: <\/em><\/strong>France is just jealous someone is manif<\/em>\u2019ing better than they are. But this has to represent some deeper current of discontent. \u00c0 suivre<\/em> (to follow).<\/p>\n

If you really want to follow les nouvelles <\/em>(the news), I highly suggest listening to the radio<\/a>. Just click RFI in French <\/em>on the right. Allez, c\u2019est g\u00e9nial!<\/em><\/p>\n

I have to go finish that mafia article now. Bonne journ\u00e9e!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\"\"
