Les Jours

Les Jours is a generalist investigative journalism organisation founded in 2016 by ex-Libération journalists - it "tells the news in the way of series". These series are not fiction but reality told in episodes, with characters and places, narrating an event that happened in the past.This innovative form of reporting earned them the Albert-Londres prize in 2017 for David Thompson's series "Les revenants" about jihadists returning to France.According to its website, Les Jours "defends a long-term, tenacious, singular, and obsessive journalism". The media outlet covers various topics, including investigating the behind-the-scenes of institutional and public figures in power, researching subjects set aside by the media dependent on advertising, and in-depth reporting on long-term issues by spending months on location.Some of their series have also become books, thanks to a partnership with publishing house Editions Le Seuil.The organisation also produces podcasts, live broadcasts and other formats, to show different ways of telling the news.The information in this media profile was collected through desk research.
