Editorial for immediate release - Jonas Follonier<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On July 24, Malick Tour\u00e9-Reinhard, editor-in-chief of Slash Media<\/a>, has informed the press that its webzine will cease operations as of January 1.er <\/sup>September 2019. <\/strong>The reason? A lack of recruits and revenue. A sad stage for this quality medium dedicated to culture and social issues and founded on the web in 2016 by a personality who couldn't be more deserving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

By a coincidence of calendars, I contacted my colleague at the same time to propose a rapprochement with Le Regard Libre<\/em>.<\/strong> For several months, we'd been wanting to increase the range of our print magazine. What's more, I thought that as young media outlets in French-speaking Switzerland with a shared vision of journalism, we'd benefit from working together rather than each on our own. So I opened discussions with lemultimedia.info<\/a>, a webzine that appeared in 2014 and offers rich sports and cultural pages, and Slash M\u00e9dia. In light of the latter's shutdown, we thought the time had come to join forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Slash M\u00e9dia and Le Regard Libre<\/em> share a certain way of doing things.<\/strong> While our respective staffs are all volunteers, marked by youth and a thirst for learning, the same commitment to professionalism drives us on a daily basis. Unpaid does not mean unprofessional; volunteer does not mean amateur. Malick Tour\u00e9-Reinhard shares my vision, and this is undoubtedly one of the reasons why this link-up seemed so obvious to him, all the more so in the circumstances surrounding his media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
