Describe your site or business in few words.
Dijonscope is a regional online news site with a strong identity for independent journalism. It is the first online daily regional to be officially recognised as a press organisation under French authorities. The mission statement representing the work of the journalists on the site is impassioned: Inform, investigate, and criticize.
The team of Dijon-based journalists focus on quality rather than quantity, with editorial decisions being more about cutting-edge investigative or informative reporting than following the day-to-day highlights from institutes – formerly the fodder of regional printed press. Their value for readers is in creating ‘ a rigorous and independent range of information, drawn and filtered by journalists and correspondents whose intellectual integrity is uncompromising’.
This French Life provides many interesting nuggets of information and is of service to people who are keen to move to France, or those already living there. There are articles about setting-up a wide variety of necessary services, from banking to the internet, as well as some of the more enjoyable things about life. It also features interviews with people from the area, those that have lived here all their lives and those that have moved to start a fresh in France.
