Abstract
This survey of 27 French journalists responsible for choosing foreign news from the wire services to publish in regional newspapers outside Paris shows that Agence France Presse remains the major wire source. But the concise, unadorned style of the French language service offered by the Associated Press has gained many users. French journalists are specializing more, and about one-fourth of younger journalists have formal journalism training. There is less time for editing on some newspapers. The study suggests the unique style of Agence France Presse may have to give way to be more competitive, at a cost to a unique French emphasis on foreign news. International news may become like foreign news in any press.
