Meet the Team
Hello, everyone,
Summer is tentatively making its presence felt. The political climate, however, is far from rosy. The far right has never been this close to seizing power. Defending independent, high-quality journalism is more necessary than ever. Here at Médianes, that has been our mission for nearly four years. StreetPress, Disclose, Index, Vert, La Déferlante… Please support the media outlets that are doing essential work and are not dependent on any private conglomerate!
Want to unwind? We’re hosting a get-together on July 10 in Paris. It’s a chance to reconnect—or meet new people—over a drink, spend some time together after a busy year and month, talk about our projects, and celebrate the start of summer.
Join us at the Belleville Sauvage bar (5 rue Denoyez, 75020 Paris) on Wednesday, July 10, 2024, at 7:00 p.m. The event is free and open to everyone. To attend, please register using this form 👇
This month, we’re featuring an official introduction to the team at Médianes, a forum to stand together against the far right, and a behind-the-scenes look at the launch of our book *Creating a Media Outlet*. In our announcements, we’ll take a look at the project we carried out alongside Fracas, as well as new collaborations with Harmonie Santé and French Founders. Also on the agenda: the next installment of Media Off-Site and an event dedicated to our book, which is still available in our online store 👀
Enjoy the read,
— Juliette Cahen
THE MÉDIANES TEAM
Let's introduce ourselves
Since Médianes’ beginnings in 2020—when there were only three of us—the team has grown considerably. Today there are twelve of us, working on the studio’s and the media’s projects. Who is behind all these projects, and what is each person’s role within the team?
In 2020, Marine Doux, Baptiste Thevelein, and Christelle Perrin launched Médianes. Over the course of (almost) four years, new members have gradually joined the project, and today the team consists of twelve full-time employees…
From the media's perspective
THE MÉDIANES TEAM | MÉDIANES
For a united media front against the far right
“Without a free press, there is no democracy.” As the far right stands on the threshold of power in France, more than 90 media outlets, including [name]Médianes, have joined forces to sign this op-ed and denounce its agenda, which threatens press freedom and society as a whole. We also wanted to highlight media initiatives against the far right.

⟶ Off-Site Media, continued
In the last issue, we told you about Media Off-Site, an event we co-organized that brought together media executives in early June to discuss the future of the industry. We’re currently working on the next steps, but we can already tell you that the resulting report will be released in the fall 👀
⟶ Support the launch of Fracas
Fracas is the new media outlet dedicated to environmental thinking and activism. As part of its launch, Médianes contributed its marketing, operational, and technical expertise. The goal? To help it gain traction and ensure its long-term sustainability through a strategy defined step by step and designed for the long run. Behind the scenes of the project ⟶
⟶ A seminar for Harmonie Santé
In late June, we held a seminar for Harmonie Santé, Harmonie Mutuelle’s media outlet dedicated to prevention. Preparation, facilitation, hosting… The Médianes team stepped in to structure this key day as part of the media outlet’s evolution.
⟶ Meet at the Pavillon des Canaux
On July 17, Médianes will be at the Pavillon des Canaux to discuss the book. Interested? Join us for this small-group discussion so we can introduce you to Créer un média and answer your questions about media creation and the book project! Follow this link to register ⟶
⟶ More than 3,850 new members for Vert
