MARSEILLE - Back in the days, it used to be common to see copies of the newspapers of the day lying around in public places, especially cafés. This habit tends to disappear, as we all are getting in touch with the news through our digital devices. Or maybe not all. Our goal with Marsactu wireless, is to make our investigations available to the users of places different kinds (cultural centers, third spaces, cafés, etc), for free.
