The information offer of France Bleu could be affected all week by a protest movement against here, the numerical platform common to the radio and in France 3 announced by Roselyne Bachelot.

The announcement of Roselyne Bachelot, November 9, 2021 before the Senate Culture Commission, provoked an immediate trade union tolert. Four months after the Minister of Culture promised the advent of a “local digital offer” shared between France 3 and France Bleu, and a few weeks before its launch (the date is not yet known), the distrust Vis-à-vis this new service, baptized here, does not really fall back. In any case not for the SNJ union of Radio France, which provides for a week of mobilization as of Monday, March 28th.
announced for the end of the first quarter – first in the form of an application, then a website – here is supposed to offer its users content according to their preferred themes or geolocation . The entire information offer and programs of the Forty-four Locals of France should be accessible, while the twenty-four regional antennas of France 3 will graft their newspapers.
“What do you know about the French numerical platform France Bleu-France 3 to ten days of its launch? Nothing or almost, is the union in a statement. Nothing on the organization of work (…) nothing on the editorial arbitrations (…), nothing on human and financial means (…). All this “nothing” resembles a whimper of guardianship. “
ominous imbalance
Another problem of concern: the programmed disappearance of the domain Francebleu.fr, absorbed by the brand here (including on the platform of Radio France), while the presence of France 3 will continue to be ensured As such, as it is on francetvinfo.fr, the other common platform in France Télévisions and Radio France. While the governance of here has been placed in a group of economic interest, and that this new rapprochement between radio and public television is forced, this imbalance seems auspicious.
“We have already had a very bad experience with Francetvinfo.fr, on which the TV took the hand,” recalls Matthew Darriet, Cosecretary of the SNJ to Radio France. As for the announcement by Emmanuel Macron of the upcoming disappearance of the royalty, the main source of public audiovisual financing, it adds to the mistrust, completes a unionist of France Télévisions.
The mobilization will take three forms: journalists (about 400 out of 1,500 employees) are invited to cease their contributions to the website, temporarily remove their right to the image (so as to complicate, or prevent, disseminating mornings common to the two antennas), and, finally, to observe a day of strike Thursday March 31st.
As committed to the wake of restitution, on March 14, an overwhelming report on psychosocial risks in France Bleu, management should quickly formulate proposals to better distribute the workload. In the local radio network, while the first measures announced had been poorly received by the unions.
