The Museum of Information and Press (Musip) is set to open in Paris by 2029, according to its founding president, Antoine Mariotti, who is also a journalist for France 24. Supported by UNESCO and a range of media organizations—including Radio France, Le Figaro, AFP, Charlie Hebdo, and regional press groups—as well as Reporters Without Borders (RSF), the project aims for a creation budget of around 20 million euros. A press conference was held on September 28 at the Eiffel Tower to announce the museum's upcoming opening. The Eiffel Tower was chosen for its "very popular" identity, noted by Mariotti, who emphasized that it is "the highest radio transmitter antenna, and because it symbolizes emblematically the city of Paris." Mariotti, a journalist who has covered the war in Syria and served as a correspondent in Jerusalem, highlighted the importance of the press in a world where false information can be easily spread on social networks, especially with the rise of artificial intelligence tools. The museum's goal is to "address this democratic emergency" and to "show visitors in full transparency how a newsroom functions" and "give them keys" to the production of information. The museum plans to be immersive and interactive, showing all stages of journalistic work, including the choice of a subject, research of sources, verification, and will include radio and television studios, as well as a layout workshop, allowing visitors to experience the work of journalists firsthand. The physical museum is expected to open by 2029, if possible in "a location made available by the City or the State," with "very encouraging discussions" currently ongoing. At this preliminary stage, the project initiators have gathered "several hundred thousand euros" to "start the pump," according to Mariotti. The project's scientific council is chaired by Annick Cojean, a renowned reporter from Le Monde, and includes other information professionals. The museum's permanent exhibition will have three major chapters: an immersion in an editorial room, an exploration of the "war of narratives" and differences in editorial lines, and a focus on press freedom and its role in the proper functioning of democracy. Before its physical opening, Musip will be installed in the digital space starting Monday, through a website (www.musip.fr) and a presence on social networks, with educational content aimed particularly at young people. It also plans debates and conferences starting in January. The museum will have a paid entry, but it will dedicate a large part of its missions to schools, which should be welcomed in large numbers. The project is distinct from that of the Maison du dessin de presse, launched at the beginning of 2020, and Musip plans to closely collaborate with the Maison du Dessin de Presse, whose opening is announced for 2027 in Paris.
