“on the one hand, the editorial line of the two journals whose merger is proposed, is radically different and hardly compatible, on the other hand, the ins and outs of economic of the project, including employees and freelancers on a full time equivalent, are not exposed in a transparent manner to the representative institutions of the staff”, emphasizes the lawyer of the employees in its conclusions seen by AFP.

Here is what wrote the Figaro 3 years ago :
“A magazine health innovative and a review around progressive ideas: Dr. Good!(Mondadori) and The New literary Magazine (Sophia Publications) have attracted the favours of the readers, and make excellent scores of sales since their release, during the second half of 2017.” Great success, indeed :-). The leftists are bringing in mass of the illiterate people in our poor country, the leftists undermined and destroyed the system of education French, to such an extent that we régressons year after year, and now the leftist are complaining that nobody reads their cloth…

We may still regret this absorption, but it must take account of the realities…
More widely, it would be interesting to see if sales of magazines have increased since march, knowing that readers no longer had access (and still currently in many cases) the subscriptions of the libraries.
