Cette semaine, pendant laquelle lexpress.mu a célébré sa première année d’existence, de nombreuses personnes et certains internautes sont revenus vers nous avec des observations qui commandent justement les présentes précisions.
Je tiens, par conséquent, à faire ressortir les points suivants:
Le site lexpress.mu n’est pas une reproduction du contenu de l’édition papier de l’express. Ce qu’on peut consulter sur la page d’accueil et les pages d’atterrissage de lexpress.mu n’est pas une réplique du contenu de l’express papier. Nos internautes peuvent, à ce stade, avoir accès à l’édition du jour de l’express papier en cliquant sur les fenêtres: «Lisez votre journal ici» qui se trouve en haut à droite de la page d’accueil et à travers «L’express en PDF».
Il faut aussi savoir que les journalistes de lexpress.mu et de l’express ne sont pas les mêmes. Ce sont deux équipes différentes de journalistes. Avec deux approches différentes mais dont l’objectif premier est de relayer l’information, de la manière la plus objective qui soit, jusqu’aux internautes et lecteurs respectivement.
Il faut enfin savoir qu’étant un site d’informations en ligne, l’express.mu a une ligne éditoriale différente des autres produits de presse. Il est important de préciser ce point car chaque produit a sa propre identité et sa propre personnalité. lexpress.mu, pour sa part, s’oriente comme un support multimédia. En cela, le site se présente et se développe comme un média numérique.
J’espère que ces précisions permettront de dissiper la confusion qui existe encore chez certaines personnes.

| Fairytales of New-York | | | Précisions inutiles du Sieur Esoof. Je tiens à lui rappeler que sans 'l'express' dans 'lexpress.mu', il ne tiendrait pas ce langage, et n'aurait surtout pas tenu un an. Modestie, modestie, modestie. Âgé d'un an, Obama ne savait pas qu'il serait le premier président noir des Etats-Unis... A bon internaute, salut... | | | Michael | | | Hi Nazim , Go ahead and good luck ! happy birthday and long -life to l'express.mu | | | Jacques | | | Précisions inutiles tant l'expression idéologique véhiculée est la même!!! | | | Baltazar | | | Hi Nazim ! D'ont worry ! There is no confusion. You are the best coach. Get your team pushing on ! Cheers! | | | eric | | | Bonjour Nazim, Many,many thanks for dotting the (i's) and crossing the (t's). You have a wonderful way with words and your voccabulary is superbly descriptive. Unlike some commentators, you do not need a full A3 to express your opinion to be debated. Keep on. | | | Burn-it | | | Merci pour la précision. Donc, joyeux anniversaire à toute l'équipe de l'express.mu! | | | FROM : ADAPT | | | The changes in media have a lot to tell us about the particular moment we’re in./Site d’informations en ligne, l’express.mu. s’oriente comme un support multimédia./ THE FUTURE OF NEWS. The internet is a communications platform that's here to marry or modify existing platforms including cell/land phones, radio, television and media. The problem with the newspaper business is that it didn't recognize this shift in its market or properly adapt to it. Now it's reaching a dire state. It's no different than the steamship disrupting the paddle boat world. All the industry needs to do is recognize it's environment has shifted, and focus on what it will take to migrate its customer base to the new platform. It's not difficult. Retail business is a case study for how to transition from a traditional platform to a new one. Not nearly as much has changed about users, the audience and the way the world works. It's just a different platform, and companies need to take a platform focused approach. Lots of industries have/are being disrupted by the web but the demise of a business entirely is still optional. A hundred years ago the newspaper as we know it was being invented. There are stunningly parallels to what journalists, designers, advertisers and publishers were experimenting with in newspapers - the world's first truly mass medium - a century ago, and what's been happening on the web over the last decade. There is energy and a willingness to stretch boundaries that frankly at L’EXPRESS THIS has been seen in some time. The optimism of your post had precedent: Until the modern newspaper happened, most people would never have imagined it possible. I happen to think that this is a useful way of thinking about what’s happening to us now: today’s media is in fact much closer to a real-world ecosystem in the way it circulates information than it is like the old industrial, top-down models of mass media. It’s a much more diverse and interconnected world, a system of flows and feeds – completely different from an assembly line. That complexity is what makes it so interesting, of course, but also what makes it so hard to predict what it’s going to look like in five or ten years. What’s happened with technology and is happening elsewhere too, just on a different timetable. Sports, business, reviews of movies, books, restaurants – all the staples of the old newspaper format are proliferating online. There are more perspectives; there is more depth and more surface now. And that’s the new growth. It’s only started maturing. The funny thing about newspapers today is that their audience is growing at a remarkable clip. Their underlying business model is being attacked by multiple forces, but their online audience is growing faster than their print audience is shrinking. Online audience has grown from zero to 75 million. Measured by pure audience interest, newspapers have never been more relevant. If they embrace this role as an authoritative guide to the entire ecosystem of news, I suspect in the long run they will be as sustainable and as vital as they have ever been. The implied motto of every paper in the country should be: all the news that’s fit to link. Let me say one final thing. I am bullish on the future of news, as you can tell. The old growth forest won’t just magically grow on its own, of course, and no doubt there will be false starts and complications along the way. But in times like these, when all that is solid is melting into air, as said of another equally turbulent era, it’s important that we try to imagine how we’d like the future to turn out and set our sights on that, and not just struggle to keep the past alive for a few more years. I suspect, are already living in the old-growth forests now. It’s up to us to remind everyone else how promising those ecosystems really are -- or, even better, to help them live up to that promise. I think the fundamental question is a business question. who's going to pay the reporters? The papers may go away, but reporting is serious profession that cannot rely on stay-at-home-volunteers, sometimes known as bloggers. Even if we have reliable (?) neighborhood reporting from local activists and bloggers, we also need compensated professionals for the bigger stuff: city, statewide, national, and international. They don't need to work for a newspaper, but somebody's got to pay for them and for their reporting expenses. We don't go to movies made by amateur directors (well...), we rarely read books by volunteer writers. Instead of pajama-wearing opinionators like those of us posting comments here, professional reporters are going to have to report the important news. We should have already learned that from the ruins of another Old Growth culture, talk radio. Seems to me that traditional, competitive, professional reporting is essential to civic democracy. Who's going to pay its reporters? I'm reasonably trustful the marketplace will give us an answer. to use your old growth theory..when the big trees topple, the sunshine they dominated for so long will be spread evenly amongst smaller, more adaptive, more short-lived entities. there will be a free for all of competition. a few new ones will arise to dominate the sunlight again. it wont be he newspapers we continue to harken back to. Tech talk, tech journalism, tech business models -- these are only the externals of news, they are not its core. The core is still about talking to *people*, not machines, and making organic value judgements. For anyone who cares about freedom of speech- The future's bright, the future's networked. Over the long run, it’s true, politicians, bureaucrats, and corporate executives can be sacked because of an angry electorate or board. But in the day to day of ordinary life, the press is perhaps the only institution that can truly hold them accountable – and they know it, and they fear it. What will journalism be like in the perfectly competitive online world? Murdoch: Our modern world is faster moving and far more complex than theirs. But the basic truth remains: to make informed decisions, free men and women require honest and reliable news about events affecting their countries and their lives. Whether the newspaper of the future is delivered with electrons or dead trees is ultimately not that important. What is most important is that the news industry remains free, independent – and competitive
