Print 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.

You will find it in various public places and on the website of the Departmental Council in digital version, or receive it at home!

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.

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.
