France: freesheets count on Rugby on World Cup
On Sep. 7, Metro published a 32-page supplement about the Rugby World Cup. And during the events, which run until Oct. 20, a daily 8-page booklet will also be published, carrying analysis of the games and events.
Likewise, 20 Minutes published a 24-page supplement on Sep. 7. 20 Minutes will also publish an 8-page booklet about the events, but only on Mondays. However, two full pages will be devoted to rugby every weekday.
20minutes.fr has also invited rugby players, a deputy and fans to produce live comment during games.
Major international sports events have always been a good opportunity for newspapers to reach a larger audience, especially since freesheets’ younger readership is usually sports-oriented.
