Overview

• ‘Secrets d’info’, on air weekly since 2014, will air once per month starting this fall under the new schedule.
• Pigalle argues the monthly format will give journalists extra time for thorough investigations and quicker follow-up on emerging stories.
• The investigation unit sent an open letter to Radio France president Sibyle Veil, calling the change a clear weakening of the station’s sole investigative outlet.
• Journalists’ unions and the station’s reporting teams warn that the reduced frequency could erode Radio France’s credibility and public trust.
• Pigalle pledges to protect reporters from last-minute assignment demands and to assess the impact of the monthly cycle in autumn as public-media reform is debated and the next presidential election nears.
