Charlie Hebdo et les défis de la relance dans le New York Times

Nos voisins du sud continuent à s'intéresser au sort de Charlie Hebdo. Les défis de la relance sont nombreux et la solidarité des membres de l'équipe est ébranlée.

 "Perhaps more troubling, the solidarity that once bound Charlie Hebdo’s close-knit staff has cracked under the trauma of the attacks and discord over how to divide the publication’s newfound wealth. A surge in subscriptions and newsstand sales from supporters has brought millions to the newspaper’s coffers but has also led to bitter internal squabbling over how — and how much — money should be reinvested in the paper and distributed to the families of the victims.

“It was a bit of a double punishment,” Mr. Sourisseau, a soft-spoken former railway worker, said of the upheavals that have shaken Charlie Hebdo in recent months. “When I left the hospital, I thought naïvely that we would all go back to working together as before. I had no idea that there would be so much chaos.”

While Mr. Sourisseau, who now owns 65 percent of Charlie Hebdo, has worked to contain the tumult, emotions continue to run high among staff members. Some have publicly called for him and the newspaper’s other shareholder, the financial director, Éric Portheault, to renounce their right to future gains from their holdings and to transform Charlie Hebdo — which has always been owned by a handful of employees — into a kind of nonprofit cooperative. Others have chosen to leave the paper, saying that carrying on in the absence of their fallen friends had become too difficult."
