Google, Canal Plus help Charlie Hebdo recover

2015-01-08 15:34:00| Telecompaper Headlines

(Telecompaper) French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, which lost much of its talent to a terrorist attack, will receive EUR 250,000 from the Press and Pluralism fund, which consists of public money managed by the press, and EUR 250,000 from the Google-AIGP Digital Innovation for the Press Foundation (FINP). The contributions will help the weekly put out 1 million copies of its next issue on 13 January, compared to its usual run of 60,000 copies, its solicitor, Richard Malka, told AFP. It will have 8 instead of 16 pages. Charlie Hebdo said it recently received funds from Canal Plus and Le Monde, and the remainder of its team will be hosted (as when its headquarters were burned out in an arson attack) by Liberation. A stronger Charlie will come out of this tragedy, said Les Echos CEO Francis Morel. In an act of solidarity, Presstalis and Messageries Lyonnaises de Prese will take no commission on distribution of the commemorative edition. The FINP, co-founded by press association AIGP, invests up to EUR 20 million a year to support publishing projects and covers up to 60 percent of publications' eligible expenses within a limit of EUR 2 million per project.
