AMERICA EDITIONS
–
MEDIA – He lowers the iron curtain. While organizing the final of his summer reading competition for teens this Wednesday, August 26, the host of “La Grande Librairie” François Busnel has just announced the end of one of his journalistic adventures at the microphone of Sonia Devillers on France Inter.
After sixteen issues, he puts an end to the magazine America. Launched four years ago with Éric Fottorino, it brings together writers from around the world each quarter to try to understand the United States in the era of Donald Trump.
It won’t go any further. “We announced it, we would only do one term, blows the journalist. […] I believe that the story, we understood it in four years. I think it would be a little crazy to put that in eight years [si l’actuel président est réélu, NDLR]. I don’t think we would have much else to say and in a different way.
A review “in very good health”
As the latter assures us, the magazine is “in very good health”. Each issue sells on average between 30,000 and 40,000 copies.
He specifies: “A newspaper, like a radio, is a pact with the reader or the listener. We had made a pact with the readers, telling them that after four years, we would do something else. Four years have passed, what project will he launch? “We will find ideas, we will search”, he concludes.
The latest issue ofAmerica will appear in January. It will focus, depending on the results of the presidential election, on Donald Trump’s replacement (if the latter loses) or on the results of his first term (if he wins again).
