Charlotte Baris: This week, the issue of L’Express that you will find on newsstands is a little different because for its 70th anniversary, the newspaper team did not do things by halves. In the printing house that publishes each magazine, the paper was changed, the large presses ran longer and surveillance was increased. A work of several months, which involved all the departments, from journalists, to model makers, including iconographers and documentalists…
Everything has been carefully developed and the result is what we call a mook: an exceptional product between a magazine and a book. Inside, more than 200 pages combining stories, interviews, drawings and archive photos. So today’s episode is dedicated to this anniversary issue. We’re going to tell you the manufacturing secrets of this magazine and look forward to the next 70 years…
