At a time when the press is facing the great upheavals that the arrival of blogs, tweets and other web revolutions represents, this film offers a journey into the heart of the work of the Political Service journalists of “Le Monde”, during the 2012 presidential election campaign, which saw François Hollande defeat Nicolas Sarkozy. In the newsroom as well as in the field, the film presents the debates that take place in the evening edition of the daily newspaper.
