Over the coming months, ChatGPT users will be able to interact with relevant news content from these publishers through curated summaries with attribution and enhanced links to original articles, giving users the ability to access additional information or related articles from their news websites.
Echoing this sentiment, Louis Dreyfus, CEO of Le Mondestated: “As we celebrate Le Monde's 80th anniversary, this partnership with OpenAI allows us to extend our reach and maintain our commitment to providing accurate, verified, balanced news at scale. Working with OpenAI ensures that our authoritative content can be accessed and appreciated by a wider, more diverse audience.
Every shift in the media landscape presented Le Monde with new opportunities. From moving to digital platforms to embracing the era of free media, Le Monde has consistently used these moments to emphasize its commitment to independence, expertise and journalistic integrity.
Since 2010, Le Monde has emerged as a digital media pioneer, adapting its organizational structure and operational methods while firmly adhering to its core principles. By 2024, Le Monde has established itself as the leading French newspaper, with more than 600,000 subscribers, 2.2 million unique users per day and generating more than 632 million page views per month.
Our partnership with OpenAI is a strategic move to ensure the dissemination of reliable information to AI users, preserving our journalistic integrity and revenue streams in the process.”
Carlos Nuñez, President and CEO of Prisa Media added: “Joining forces with OpenAI opens up new avenues for us to engage with our audience. Leveraging ChatGPT's capabilities allows us to present our in-depth, quality journalism in new ways, reaching individuals looking for credible and independent content. This is a definitive step towards the future of news, where technology and human expertise come together to enrich the reader experience.
This is a new chapter in Prisa Media's digital journey, where we continuously improve our position as the largest Latin American media company, managing the leading media brands in our main markets: Spain, Latama and the USA. We have developed a reach of more than 7 million daily unique users with more than 1,650 million page views per month and a clear focus on developing content in digital formats beyond text, both in audio, where we provide 90 million total listening hours and 51 million audio downloads per month, and video, with more than 141 million monthly video views.”
