History of french TV The Office de Radiodiffusion-Télévision Française (ORTF) was the national agency charged, between 1964 and 1974, to provide public radio and television in France. In France, the public monopoly on broadcasting was established in 1945 when the Radiodiffusion française (RDF) was formed. From the beginning, the public broadcaster experienced fierce competition from the "peripheral stations": French-speaking stations aimed at the French public but transmitting on long wave from neighbouring countries, such as RadioMontecarlo (RMC)from Monaco, Radio Luxembourg / RTL from Luxembourg

Le Monde • Le Monde is a French daily evening newspaper. It is generally well respected, often the only french newspaper easily obtainable in non francophone countries. • The newspaper should not be confused with the monthly publication Le Monde diplomatique, of which Le Monde has 51% ownership, but which is editorially independent. • Le Monde was founded by Hubert Beuve-Méry at the request of General Charles de Gaulle after the German army was driven from Paris during World War II, and took over the format of Le Temps, whose reputation had suffered during the Occupation.
Libération • Libération (left wing) is a French newspaper founded in Paris in 1973 by Jean-Paul Sartre, Pierre Victor alias Benny Lévy and Serge July in the wake of the protest movements of May 1968. • Libération has a decidedly self-described progressive editorial line, generally supportive of causes such as anti-racism, feminism, and workers' rights. • It is a militant newspaper that, however, does not support any particular political party, acts as a counter-power, and generally has bad relations with both left-wing and right-wing administrations. • According to a deputy editor, Libération, though not affiliated with any political party is, from its 1968 origins, naturally left-wing.
