Overview

• Le Point has unveiled a Plan de Sauvegarde de l’Emploi (PSE) that will eliminate 58 roles, including 32 permanent staff and 26 freelancers, from its workforce of approximately 200 employees.
• The revision and correction department, comprising around 15 employees, will see significant cuts, with AI tools under human supervision replacing many tasks.
• Management has announced the creation of 18 new positions, partly through internal reclassifications, as part of the reorganization plan.
• The restructuring is framed as a strategy to elevate the publication’s focus on investigative reporting and reduce reliance on daily news coverage.
• Formal negotiations are set to begin at the end of April, with implementation scheduled for autumn 2025, as employees express shock and skepticism over the plan’s scale and impact.
