French televisoin coverage of the printed newspaper

I continue to be struck by the extent to which the morning televisoin programs in France report what is appearing - in print - in today's French newspapers. It is illustrated by the front pages and other pages of the printed newspapers as the television people related what the newspapers are publishing. It is a bit surreal in many respects.

My question is whether there are not additional creative ways in which the televisoin can be used by the newspapers to further their interests. Instead, I get the feeling that this is a case of the newspapers thinking they should just be appreciative for the exposure they are getting and as long as they spell the name of the newspaper, so to speak, correctly, then all is good.

I think that is incredibly short-sighted.

Here is one of those programs and I cannot find any way to watch the items that deal with the printed press or to interact in any other way with the printed press.

One has to wonder what these programs would do if the newspapers ceased to offer them this programming, in effect.

And there is something out of alignment when one realizes the work that went into the newspaper article or other content, and the work that did NOT go into reading it and reporting about it on the televisoin program.
