Following the vote for Brexit and Donald Trump's win, France's presidential race has put the role of media on spotlight.
After the electoral processes that shook the United States and the UK in 2016, the role of the media in this year's French presidential vote bears watching.
Just last week, the leading candidate on the right, Francois Fillon, told reporters he was the victim of a media campaign of "unheard-of violence".
He was referring to a story broken in an often-satirical magazine called Le Canard Enchaine about his wife being paid taxpayers' money for what appears to be an imaginary job.
