Media Amiens

Each new issue of Fakir is a breath of fresh air on the print media horizon. Founded in 1999 by François Ruffin, the paper has been a great success in Amiens and throughout the country. On the front of the paper's website, you can read "Journal fâché avec tout le monde, ou presque" ("Newspaper angry with everyone, or almost everyone"). The tone is set, with editor-in-chief Cyril Pocréaux at the helm: a touch of humor, insolence and irreverence, and a choice of sharp, social and delicate themes, against the grain of mainstream media thinking. The website also features podcast and video categories to extend the reading experience.

You want to be a real Amiens ? Buy the Courrier Picard! Created in 1944 (yes!), this regional daily is now published in seven geographical editions (Amiens, Sud Amiénois, Nord Amiénois, Picardie Maritime, Haute-Somme, Oise and Aisne). Enough to satisfy all the ex-Picards! The articles focus on the daily life of the region's inhabitants, but also provide an overview of French and world news. Le Courrier Picard belongs to the Rossel-La Voix press group, so it is not unusual to read joint articles.

If Picardy no longer exists as such, the France 3 Picardy antenna remains. In addition to its traditional newscasts, the regional channel deals with local life with Tribune Nord , which brings together football fans, and the Picardy political Sunday (Sundays at 11.25am). The news is now extended to all the Hauts-de-France, notably with the programme Les Gens des Hauts (Sunday at 12.55 pm), presented by Kamini (who scored the hit Marly-Gomont), which goes out to meet the people who make up the region, or the programme Ensemble c'est mieux (Monday to Friday at 10.50 am), which provides concrete solutions to the daily problems of the inhabitants.

A 100% local TV channel, covering the former Picardy region, is the challenge proposed (and succeeded) since 2017 by Wéo Picardie, Wéo Hauts-de-France's little sister. Based in Amiens, in the former premises of the Courrier picard, Wéo offers a wide and relevant coverage of regional news, through programs that go to the heart of local life. Reports, games, interviews: the editorial team offers a real insight into the inhabitants and their daily lives. Accessible via DTT or various Internet boxes!

A radio made by Picards for Picards!

NRJ is the radio of young people aged 15 to 30 who first pass hits (Hit Music only!). There are even stars like Cauet, and local news every half hour in the form of info spots in the morning in the morning (-9 h).

This radio is part of the same group as NRJ and targets a larger age range, a more family-friendly and above all more feminine decision. You will find all the great tubes of French song like Mika or Marc Lavoine, but also international with Queen and Madonna. The regional segment takes place from 16 a. m. to 20 p. m. and offers you weather, traffic info and appointments not to be missed in your city.

It is the free bi-monthly magazine of the Departmental Council of the Somme. You will find information on initiatives, news, escapades, culture but also in-depth features such as the "Rencontre" which highlights a personality. The colourful and modern layout of the newspaper and the large space devoted to photos make it a very nice and pleasant magazine to leaf through. You will find it in various public places and on the website of the Departmental Council in digital version, or receive it at home!

Since early 2010, Top Ads has completely reviewed its model and headings. This free weekly release every Monday gives us all the little ads of individuals like professionals in the fields of automobile, real estate, employment and services, but new items such as the agenda, the web page or the shopping section "new and cheap" are appearing and are very interesting. You will also find the magazine online on the website.

The monthly chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCI) of Amiens deals with the economic news of the Somme. It is very interesting to read, particularly to keep up to date on the news of the local businesses. In addition, it happens that the drafting offers well-documented and well-documented series of practical information. Distributed to companies and available to CCI, everyone can request to receive it. It is also available and/or downloadable on the CCI website.

Style & Co is THE deco, trends and lifestyle magazine from Amiens. Plus it's free! Every month and a half (a small particularity!), you'll find reports on the most beautiful houses in Amiens, shopping, fashion and decoration pages, but also articles with advice on how to furnish your home. Also feature articles on artists, places to discover or recipes from chefs, all made in Picardy. The information is qualitative and often unusual. The editorial style is light. A little happiness to devour. It is available in most downtown restaurants and shops, but copies leave quickly.

Picardie La Gazette is the weekly regional economic news weekly, but also a bulletin of legal announcements. It is intended more particularly for companies since it is about notices of company incorporations or changes of domiciliation. The Gazette also has "Culture" and "Law" sections and is thus involved in all sectors of local life and thus addresses a large number of readers. On the website, thanks to a subscriber number, you can benefit from online access to the newspaper, archives and publications. The social networks are regularly updated and allow you to follow the news of the newspaper in real time.
