LYON - Flagrant Déni is a French media organisation working on the issue of police violence. The law is often difficult for everyone to understand, especially for people living in working-class neighbourhoods. We're developing the video format to be more in line with the media habits of the mostly young audience in working class neighbourhoods.

Flagrant Déni already produces in-depth journalistic investigations, in particular by publishing surveys that decipher the law and judicial practice in cases of police violence. These are essentially written articles. These formats are particularly suitable for some of our readers (e.g. lawyers), but they don't necessarily correspond to the information habits of younger readers.

We aim to continue our work in popularising the law by tailoring our productions more closely to young, urban audiences who currently have little access to popularised legal knowledge.

The specific activities of this project are to improve our website to be able to publish more video formats and to improve the relationship between video and written articles. This includes improving the infrastructure that drives the site, improving the site's graphic identity and interface, web page layout, web integration. Possible outcomes include new web pages dedicated to video, a new interface, new articles using video or new videos.
