RFI: a world of diversity
True to itself yet different.
To better satisfy all its listeners, the new RFI programme schedule
aims to provide even more relevant news, and reach ever closer to
the everyday reality of its 44 million listeners around the world.
EDITO
Non-stop news is what RFI is all about. With a newscast every half
hour, our primary focus on world events will not change. This is
RFI’s signature, and its core strength: International news 24/7. But
the mix will be even more varied, with news from all five continents
on air throughout the day.
News from Africa, with substantially enriched editorial content.
Since Africa is a house of many mansions, RFI journalists will
address everyone listening in West Africa and Central Africa simultaneously each morning. And since Africa is an integral part of the
changing world, listeners will be able to hear every dimension of
their own news.
French news, with a new spectrum of programmes for election year.
We’ll talk about politics, and the economy; and shed more light on
a France that must choose a new leader.
Richer content means new programmes, lighter in form, and more
varied in substance. We will prioritize live shows and interactivity.
Listeners will be able hear longer, more fluid broadcasts at various
times during the day. And RFI will talk about everything to do with
life as lived, from the role of women to questions of health,
development and culture. Unpretentiously, but informed by our
expertise.
Sometimes we’ll take a more solemn stance, and at others we’ll raise
a smile. But we will always be serious about our job. RFI will more
than ever before reflect the world’s rich diversity.

Start the day with RFI
WORLD
RFI’s World Service offers listeners a
morning news roundup wherever they
are located around the globe.
From 5:00 to midnight, there are
international and French news slots
ranging from 30 minutes to two
hours, updating the same basic format
throughout the day. These broadcasts
also feed a roundup of the day’s news
for other geographies.
• 15 minutes newscasts at
key times (especially 7:00,
8:00, 13:00 and 19:00 Paris
time),
• special reports, guests,
and worldwide correspondents
to tell the world’s stories,
• discussions, commentaries, special topics, and
reports that contextualize the
flow of facts, and explain
events in a more unified
world.
Pierre Ganz
Director of the World Service
dedicated to social transformations
around the world, and the discussions
they give rise to.
Benson Diakité’s Elan on Sundays will
look at development, and the men and
women who are inventing new ways
of living or surviving in an increasingly
globalized world.
Grand reportage and Dimanche économie (Business on Sunday) rounds
up news from RFI reporters on the
ground for a close-up of world events.
With Décryptage (Making Sense),
Marie-France Chatain-Laroche provides
the background and in-depth explanations needed for understating today’s
news.
With Géopolitique, le débat, Richard
Labevière fields conflicting and sometimes irreconcilable views on these
same geopolitical issues.
Living with RFI
In addition to the news, the World
Service informs listeners via major
RFI themes, including key international issues, changing societies around
the world, and music and cultural
explorations, providing broadcasts
largely based on special reports, a
cordial atmosphere, and an exchange
of views.

AFRICA SERVICE
A lively radio, dedicated yet highspirited, that resonates with its
audience’s concerns, initiatives,
and discussions. Indeed, a launch
pad for such initiatives.
RFI: an international
radio for Africa
AFRICA
That’s
how
24
millions
Francophone listeners in Africa
see this unrivalled communication
media.
It talks about them, while placing
Africa in a global context, countering
the negative caricatures that are so
often trotted out about this continent.
News and other programmes mix
international content with an Africacentric approach.
More than ever before, RFI Afrique
intends to focus fully on its audience’s
local needs and expectations, and
their wonderful capacity to express
themselves. RFI Afrique provides its
constituencies with a media that can
rally news about Africa’s choices,
desires and accomplishments.
Henri Perilhou
Director of the Africa Service
The new Africa Service schedule
aims to bond more closely with
this audience:
INFO Matin Afrique
RFI Afrique follows the rising sun to
meet listeners at each prime time
during the day.
Five news casts during the morning,
for East Africa and the Indian Ocean,
followed by the Great Lakes region,
then Central Africa and finally West
Africa.
All-Africa news is first prioritized for
its listeners’ immediate environment,
and then merged into the global news
stream. Editorial content is added in
two different studios, when Kinshasa
and Dakar tune in to RFI. It is 7:30
Paris time.

MULTIMEDIA
T H E M U LT I M E D I A S E R V I C E
The digital revolution and new
information and communication
technologies have been shaking up
the media for the last ten years.
As a result, the media have been
forced to de-specialize as either
print or radio or television, and
merge into joint media mixes, and
even multimedia. They have had to
broaden their offerings, using new
combinations of text, sound and
image over fixed or mobile
networks, and attract surfers in
search of news and information
wherever they are at any time of the
day or night.
website, RFI set up “a multimedia
project group” to think through the
future. It decided to end the
separation between Internet and
radio content and transform
traditional
production
into
multimedia. This means delivering
the same content on the radio, of
course, as well as on the web, or via
mobile phones and podcasts.
• Opening up mainstream jobs to
new technologies.
Radio
journalists,
producers,
directors and technicians must
upgrade to embrace the broader,
more varied jobs in multimedia.
Mainstream media are losing their
purely local, regional or national
dimension and going global,
inevitably boosting competition in a
sector where RFI has been
operating for a long time.
In this inevitable race towards
multimedia, what makes the
difference
is
content,
not
broadcasting method. And luckily
RFI has a number of assets to
leverage:
• expertise in handling
international news
• insider knowledge of Africa and
the Middle East
• broad language base
• radio reactivity (close to Internet
reaction times)
RFI has been on the web for a
decade with its rfi.fr, rfimusique.fr
and affiliate sites, which attract over
2 millions visitors a month.
This capital must be consolidated
and grown. Since the start of 2006,
considerable efforts have been made
in this direction. After revamping its
• Creation of a fully-fledged
Multimedia Service alongside the
Worldwide, Africa and Languages
Services, to publish productions
and orient them towards new media
outlets. In addition to the Internet
desk, which no longer writes
articles but re-uses and publishes
existing editorial copy online, the
Multimedia
department
will
maintain a technology watch and
design relevant content for new
media streams.
Noëlle Velly
Director of the Multimedia Service
RFI is preparing
for a major corporate
transformation and
widespread
reorganisation:
A new organisation to enrich
content broadcast on the Internet
and other new media.
Four key directions for the future:
• Restructuring the Services and
News Division. News and magazine
programme production have been
grouped by geographical /thematic
cluster into a large-scale French
editorial desk. A new unit, RFIL, has
been created to systematically index
production so that text, sound and
image files can easily be shared and
sent to different publishing units.
• More breaking news in French.
The very latest news will be
available 24/7 and aligned with
geographies and themes. It will be
either summarized or expanded
depending on its importance. Some
items will be sent out in
subscription
newsletters
(via
email). Blogs will enable our
journalists and correspondents to
add their special talent and country
insight to our website, with
information
and
personal
impressions expressed in a style
that is not suited to mainstream
media. Video will also become more
systematic on the RFI website.
MULTIMEDIA
• More news in foreign languages.
Apart from Spanish, Chinese and
Brazilian Portuguese, the foreign
language pages on the RFI website
basically present the different desks
and their broadcasts, either as
streaming media or in downloadable
sound files. By reforming our
language mix, we should attain a
better balance between radio and
multimedia production on each desk.
The website of our affiliate RMC-MO
will integrate and harmonize with the
new RFI site, offering content in
Arabic and French while maintaining
its own URL.
Other affiliates will in due course
benefit from the same process.
• Theme-based pages to enrich the
website. In addition to music or
French language sections, which
already offer RFI-specific content,
web surfers will find pages on
culture, science, France and sports
as an aid to thought, learning, and
entertainment.
• More interactivity and services
for the general public. RFI must
make the most of emerging Web 2
functionality, where users not only
have access to everything online but
also participate actively in creating
content. In this way, RFI’s website
can
become
a
forum
for
conversations, communication and
personal expression.
New media
opportunities will be
systematically
explored:
• Podcasts, of course, which allow
listeners to automatically download
their favourite programmes to their
computer or walkman without having
to go and search manually for them on
various sites. RFI will very quickly step
up the volume of podcasts already on
offer and add value to its many
magazines, modules or newscasts
(press reviews, Middle and Near
Eastern news, African debates, etc).
• Newsletters and RSS will be
increased and diversified. They make
it possible to deliver specific content
to subscribers as text or multimedia
(e.g. breaking news, round-ups of
African sport, commodities reports,
and so on).
• Mobile phones can now receive
daily round-ups of news and urgent
news flashes as SMS or multimedia.
RFI must carve out its place in this
niche.

Guests may be actors, scientists,

take place in a public garden, a car,
a cemetery, a rehearsal room, or an

RMC - MO
RADIO MONTE CARLO MOYEN ORIENT
An Arabic-speaking international French radio station, RMC Moyen-Orient
is a benchmark media for the Gulf, the Near and Middle East and
throughout the Maghreb. Due to its independent news and high quality
networks of correspondents, it is a confirmed leader among international
RMC - MO
pan-Arab radios.
RMC-MO now operates in a highly
competitive environment, and
must be ready to leverage its
assets (credibility, professionalism, focus on analysis) to compete
with the many private satellite
television and radio networks now
broadcasting in the Near and
Middle East.
The Service
Both international and pan-Arab,
RMC Moyen-Orient’s ambition is to
be a local radio for its listeners, yet
with its hand on the pulse of the
entire region’s social, cultural, political and economic changes. Its key
asset is a competent and highly
professional staff. A network of
some 50 correspondents ensures a
pluralistic approach to news, with
varied programmes and a broad
musical agenda covering the Arab,
French and international repertoire.
The programming schedule was
substantially changed in 2005, with
editorial priority focusing on deeper
analysis, and more air time for the
region’s political, economic and
social actors.
News
Within RMC-MO’s three streams of
newscasts and bulletins, the
emphasis is on international and
regional news and coverage of
major political, economic, sports
and cultural events worldwide.
8 magazine programmes a week,
and a daily cultural news slot

End 2006: 150 relays
RFI now covers all major Francophone cities in Africa on FM.
After Mauritania joined up, Guinea’s decision to open up to international
media is highly promising. Benin, Mali and the Democratic Republic of
Congo have also agreed to install additional relays.
Mauritius has agreed to four FM relays on its territory. RFI will also back
the creation of a radio targeting the Francophone community in South
Africa.
In Portuguese-speaking Africa, the focus will be on seeking local partners.
RMC-MO will develop in Lebanon and Sudan.
RFI intends to improve broadcasting to its listeners in the French West
Indies, and is pursuing an active policy of take-ups in Latin America on
existing radios.
After Osorno in Chile, a new relay is due to open in Asunción in Paraguay.
In Europe, RFI is concentrating on its Belgrade affiliate: in partnership
with the BETA press agency now that a frequency has been granted.
In Asia, expansion will leverage satellite broadcasting, as well as the web
and DAB.
RFI will end the year 2006 with a total of 150 FM relays worldwide.

The international
training department
In 2004, the international training

talent + and provided with a newsletter and website. The team has
since taken on Stephen Garnier, an
expert in new information and communication technologies, and Fady
Matar, an Arab world specialist.
Through rfi talent +, the experience
and know-how of RFI professionals
is transmitted in the 20 languages

This skills base is available for any
organisation seeking balanced,
well-structured and practical training courses tailored to their
needs.
localized programmes, French courses, and the entire
repertoire of new Francophone music.
The rfi talent + approach to training
is based on the practical mastery of
radio techniques in the participants’
professional context. To achieve
this, groups are restricted in size,
and new courses are introduced
each year to meet the special needs
of a changing world, such as “preparing to cover elections”, “advanced, balanced coverage of news in
crisis zones”, and a “going on the
air module”. These complement
such mainstream courses as
“handling round tables and debates
on the radio”, “health or sports journalism” or “anchoring techniques.”

geography, and there is increasing
collaboration with major media and
development aid organizations such
as Al Jazeera in Qatar, Ecomédia in
Morocco, the Développement and
