The Observers is a collaborative site on France 24 that covers international current affairs by using eyewitness accounts from "Observers" - that's to say people who are at the heart of event. Videos, texts, photos - the content isn't produced by professional journalists - but everything's selected, verified, translated and explained by our team.

The site is also a place for people passionate about international current affairs to get together and discuss events - for "friends", "Observers" and journalists of France 24. By drawing on professional journalists and amateur enthusiasts we will present both original and quality content.
