CNN À FRANCESA
A Reuters explica os pormenores da operação em que está envolvida a France Television ao lado da TF 1 para criarem um canal exclusivamente noticioso: The brainchild of President Jacques Chirac, the channel is expected to beam into homes, hotels and media newsrooms much like U.S.-owned CNN, Britain's BBC World and more recently Qatar's Arabic-language al-Jazeera.

Government officials say that the projected high cost of the venture would be offset by a gain in world influence, at a time when France is staking out a role as an alternative voice to the United States in global affairs.
