It has been a little more than one year since I lived in my apartment in Paris. Much has changed and I long to return sometime soon. I understand the French culture is now being exported in a new fashion. One must wonder what effect the news media channel "France 24" will have on TV news, in general. Spirited argument is considered a cultural characteristic of French debate. Slated to become the BBC of France, I suspect we have much to learn. Hopefully, the standard Fox, CNN and network news show format presenting two individuals on either side of a debate, who are often so far apart that they never hear the other's argument, will end and real debate will ensue.
Les discussions françaises sont intéressantes. Nous apprendrons beaucoup d'elles.
With a place in my heart for Paris,
