Media In FranceCompared to other European nations, the French are not avid newspaper readers, citing only 164 adults out of every 1000 as newspaper readers. The French press was healthiest in the aftermath of World War II. A year after the end of the war, 28 papers had a combined circulation of about six million. However, seven years later that figure had been nearly halved. This decline was principally due to the greater popularity of the broadcast media and the subsequent diversion of advertising revenues. Recently, newly produced free papers have further weakened the established press. Still, 80 daily papers remain, and there are a wide range of weeklies, many of which now feature internet sites. Regional papers have remained relatively unaffected by the decline, with provincial newspapers commanding a higher degree of reader loyalty. For example, Ouest-France, sells almost twice as many copies as any of the national dailies. One way in which French papers differ markedly from those of other Western countries is their seeming deference to the government and political figures. With the exception of satirical journals such as Le Canard Enchan, the press is generally reluctant to expose corruption. This trait has led to charges of complicity between journalists and politicians. Media in France include: List of French newspapers See also: List of television stations in France - State Channels
