On November 15, the SPIIL organized the fourth edition of the Online Press Day at the Maison des Métallos - Paris.
Just over 400 participants attended the day of debates and workshops on the future of the press. Above all, they wanted to take the opportunity to launch the discussion platform 2081. A participatory platform where everyone, professionals or not, editors or journalists, experts and researchers, citizens, are invited to reinvent the press.
