From this February, The Conversation France and Cartooning for Peace are partnering to put the spotlight on press cartoons through a new media partnership.
Launched in 2015, The Conversation France is a generalist online medium that brings together French-speaking higher education and research establishments in the form of a not-for-profit organisation. The result of close collaboration between journalists, academics and researchers, it aims to enlighten public debate through independent analyses of topical issues published daily on its website and via its free newsletters. These articles cover all areas of information (culture, economics, education, environment, international, politics and society, health, science) and are written with a view to reach as many people as possible. Academics and researchers are supported in this by The Conversation journalists, who help them find the best possible approach and advise them throughout the writing process, so that their articles reach as many people as possible.
Every week from now on, a few articles will be enriched by the offbeat viewpoint and sharp analysis of Cartooning for Peace’s cartoonists, reminding us that press cartoons are an integral part of the news media ecosystem. This collaboration also reflects a shared commitment to upholding the principle of freedom of expression and the right to information.
