Télérama

Télérama is a cultural Magazine French with publication Hebdomadaire. In spite of its vocation to publish the programs of Television, these programs do not constitute the essence of the pagination of this magazine, contrary to its French competitors of the Presse of television: Tele 7 Days , Tele Pocket , Tele Star , Tele Z , etc It belongs to the group the Life it Monde .

Creation

Shortly after its arrival with Christian Testimony in 1947, Georges Montaron, whose mission was to reanimate the Editions Christian Testimony then declining, had the idea to launch, parallel to Christian Témoignage , another weekly magazine. It appeared to him quickly that the radio, the cinema and television - beginner - would be the vectors of the new culture of the post-war period. The idea came to him then from a magazine devoted to these media. It was necessary, said it, a newspaper which, more than one simple program of the radio broadcasts, “ would help its readers with better organizing their leisures ”. Christian Témoignage profited then from an impressive cultural structure: its chroniclers were called François Mauriac, Antoine Goléa, Pierre Debray, Michel of Saint-Pierre,… On their side the father Pichard and the Père April, which produced radio programs, wished to have an press agency written which can prolong their action. Thus appeared, the February 2nd 1947, the first number of Radio-Leisures . Its directors were the fathers April and Pichard and its permanent team were made of Jean-Guy Moreau, Maurice Lorton and Yves Coste. The principal collaborators were: Jean-Pierre Chartier, Roger Fressoz, Jean Mauduit, Marie-Rose Clouzot, Georges Lherminier, Jean Marcillac (for the sport), François Pouget, Maurice Cazeneuve, Paul Gilson.

The model of number zero contains already all the ingredients of the contents of the future Télérama : programs of emissions classified by radio stations and, the schedules of the news bulletins, wavelengths of the various transmitters, criticisms of the last emissions and the articles on the emissions “to listen”, of criticisms of films and books, a call for a participation of the readers ( Our readers have the word ). As of its number 5, he dares - unimaginable in these times of fixing of quotas of paper - to replace his one by one simple photograph full page that only come to disturb one hangs and the stringcourse of the title.

The first number contains a critic of the film Arsenic and old laces signed Roger Fressoz, future director of the Canard connected .

1947 was one year terrible for the French press. There were very long strikes in printing works and a fatal crisis for the Transport of the Press. Very many newspapers disappeared. Subjected to the strike of its printing works and a paper restriction, Radio-Leisures stops after a publication of 24 numbers (the last number: the number 23 dated from August 3rd to 9th 1947). Georges Montaron, elected managing Editions Christian Testimony the November 15th 1949, decides to join Ella Sauvageot, founder of the catholic Life and the Éditions of the Stag property of the Dominicains in order to prolong Radio-Leisures .

We wanted to carry out a newspaper applying to the popular public broadest in order to help it to control the radio, the cinema and television, privileged instruments of culture for the masses. We wanted also a newspaper Christian which is neither a body of proselytism, neither a denominational publication expressing the positions of the Church, nor the newspaper of moral quotation but a newspaper of Christians dividing the combat of the men and initially choosing to be with the service of poorest. We wanted on all the subjects tackled by the radio, television and the cinema to bring the lighting of the Gospel|Georges Montaron

The founding document was signed in February 1950 between Ella Sauvageot for the catholic Life , the Reverend Père Pierre Boisselot for the Dominicains and Georges Montaron for Christian Témoignage . The new magazine took the name of Radio-Cinema . He inherited the subscribers of Radio-Leisures whose list was given by Christian Témoignage . And it settled in the buildings of the Stag, street of Latour-Maubourg, before moving for the street Saint Dominique (VIIe district of Paris).

Five years later, its pulling reaches 75.000 specimens. The October 2nd 1960, number 559 of what had become Radio-Cinema-Television (then Television-Radio-Cinema ) changes its name into Télérama (contraction of syllables tele vision, ruffle dio, movies my ).

A certain glance

Towards the end of the Years 1970, Télérama launched a campaign provocante: a photograph of a man playing with his young person wire commented on of the only slogan: “ One can pass very well an excellent evening without television ”. The message is that the weekly magazine intends to point out its selectivity , laying the stress on the emissions and films which, according to him, or not deserves the disturbance…, and not being satisfied simply to give programs. When two divergent points of view exist in the drafting, then both are published, double vision which gives relief to the magazine. To note also the Net marking on the left magazine, which was detached from its label of " catho of gauche" to pass to a humanistic orientation.

After having been one of the florets of the press group the catholic Life (PVC), the title is since 2003 one of the publications of the group Le Monde, after the catch of majority stake of this one in PVC

The magazine, at the time of the Treated of Maastricht, is devoted to a campaign determined in favor of the " oui" , and will congratulate its readers to have been more numerous than the national average to have approved this treaty.

Around the usual programs of Television, the drafting publishes Reportage S and interviews on the significant facts of company, the impact and the reading of the topicality national policy and international, and the current events cultural (current classical musics and, Littérature, programs of the chains of radio (it is one of the only titles to propose detailed programs), Théâtre, Art, etc). Télérama publishes for the Paris region a free weekly supplement: To leave , covering the cultural programs and the topicality (theater, exposures, concerts, children, cinema).
