Assignment #3
"Our mission is to cover worldwide news with French eyes,” said Alain de Pouzilaik, the channel's head. Is the concept of "news a la francaise" plausible? While it is a completely patriotic (heroic?) undertaking, is France 24 overestimating it's ability to compete with such giant international neww corporations, like the BBC and CNN? With a budget one tenth the size, I think the French might just have taken too big a bite.
Just finishing my presentation on cultral autonomy, I completely understand the French desire to remain "untouched" by American cultural imperialism, but I believe this is going to far. Besdies which, is it not counterindicitave to promote a "french INTERNATIONAL news service"? If you don't agree with CNN, there's always BBC....We'll see how France will carry "its values throughout the world".

As you said wait and see how the French are going to reach out the world with their very archaic mentality.
