Le Drenche

Presentation

Le Drenche is the 1st media for 18-35 year old in France dedicated to social debates and promoting citizen commitment! Born in 2015 from the observation that it is difficult to have a clear opinion on current issues, Le Drenche seeks to promote factual, clear and plural information that is independent and open to all. Its thematic articles systematically set two opposing views against each other: the "pros" and the "cons", an innovative editorial methodology. A partnership with Ouest France for the circulation of the newspaper gives Le Drenche an important visibility and credibility. Thanks to its good management, the newspaper is now economically balanced and now wishes to develop its presence in France and its digital content offer. Le Drenche's vision is to remain the leading media for 18-35 year olds and to extend its influence more widely.

Team

2 directors, 5 employees and 800 contributors.

After reading a survey on shale gas saying that 85% of French people were against, 9% were in favor and only 14% were able to explain the subject, Antoine Dujardin and Florent Guignard, then employees at EDF, decided to strengthen their effort by creating Le Drenche to help citizens form an opinion on social issues. Thanks to his role as President of the charity Démocratie Ouverte (Open Democracy) aiming at accelerating the democratic transition, Florent is now Sales Director, and Antoine is the Editorial Director of the newspaper. Accompanied by a team of 5 people in charge of the artistic, editorial and sales aspects, the training two engineers now allow more than 800 external contributors to present their point of view in a well-argued manner. Finally, an advisory committee with an expertise in media, social and solidarity economy provides support at Le Drenche in its mission.
