The Société Éditatrice du Monde would like to present in its publications a selection of testimonies in the form of writings, photos and videos (hereinafter collectively or individually referred to as “contribution(s)”) voluntarily submitted to it by Internet users.

Content of the post

Your contribution must comply with current legislation, in particular the law of July 29, 1881 on freedom of the press, articles 9 and 9-1 of the Civil Code on the right to privacy and respect for the presumption of innocence and the provisions of the Intellectual Property Code. No illegal posts may be published.

Careful spelling and formatting is required (no text in capital letters, no abbreviations or SMS notation).

You must be the author of the text, photos and videos that you offer as part of your contribution or have the author’s permission to publish them under the conditions defined here. Always mention the name of the author as well as the date and place where your photo or video documents were taken and write a meaningful caption.

Your entry must be signed with your first and last name. Requests for anonymity in the event of publication will be examined by the editorial team of the Société Éditrice du Monde on a case-by-case basis.

The publisher of Le Monde reserves the right to reject any contribution or to delete any contribution already published, for whatever reason, in particular if:

  • it is against the law (racism, incitement to violence or hatred, defamation, pornography, pedophilia, sexism, homophobia, etc.).
  • it violates the rules of conduct of Monde.fr and other publications concerned (incorrect spelling, comments that do not correspond to the desired topic, sloppy form, etc.).
  • Its subject or form is of little interest to readers, as the Sociétépublisher du Monde is the sole arbiter in this regard.
  • it has already been proposed and published or is similar to a recently published statement.
  • it contains the representation or name of an identifiable natural person, in particular a minor.
  • it is the representation of a work that may fall under the copyright of a third party without their permission.
  • It contains photos or videos of insufficient technical quality (blurry photos, unreadable or poorly resolved videos, inaudible sound, etc.), with the Sociétépublisher du Monde being the sole decision-maker in this regard.
