The distribution of the press is in danger. Small titles that enrich the political,
cultural and voluntary union debate, are the first victims of the "reforms" in progress,
and it is not a coincidence ... Distribution of newspapers at newsstands today is a victim
of the destruction of the principles from the Liberation determined in the program of the
National Resistance Council to support a pluralistic press outcome resistant networks, but
penniless. First principle: share costs by grouping titles shipping through couriers News
of the Parisian press (now Presstalis, the distribution of the press in kiosks). Second
principle: ensure exposure of all the titles in booth for equal access to readers: a kiosk
could not refuse to issue a title.
But Presstalis experienced a reform whereby, through the pricing of these two principles
are now broken. Have his newspaper kiosk has become a luxury. The privatization of the
Post and the opening of its activities to the competition result in explosion postal
rates. All this greatly weakens the financial balance of our press.
To allow our newspaper to continue publishing, the only solution is to increase our number
of subscriber-es. The safest and easiest way to support us, medium and reading us monthly
cost is to subscribe, renew your subscription or talk around you.
