Local News: Get the Scoop

Newspapers and Magazines

French News: A monthly newspaper in English for fans of all things French. Some articles are available free online. 

International Herald Tribune: This English-language, Paris-based publication of The New York Times focuses on world news. 

Paris Kiosque: A bit erratic, this webzine is still a good place to get an English-language take on local current events. 

Paris Voice: This chatty webzine is aimed at anglophone ex-pats living in Paris, focusing on their particular joys and frustrations (rhapsodies about shopping, rants about snooty in-laws). Good coverage of current art, literary and music events.

 

Radio and TV Stations

France 2: France’s largest public TV network. In French. 

Radio France Internationale: France’s national public radio network offers live streaming broadcasts in English and French, as well as English-language news articles online.

TF1: A mix of game shows, soaps, American dramas and sports has made this one of the most popular networks in France. Critics complain that it’s lowbrow and right wing. In French.

TSF: My husband and I got hooked on this jazz radio station when it was playing in a hotel room. We’ve been listening online ever since. Ads often include information on upcoming concerts. And the playlist is way cool. Mainly in French.

 

News Websites and Blogs

Street89: English-language commentary on major French news stories. For a wider range of articles, check out the blog’s French-language parent, Rue89.

France24: English-language articles and video with the latest news from France and elsewhere. If you feel like practicing your language skills, the site is also available in French.
