TitleKeep Up Your French with TV Programs Viewable Online
Body
"ArrĂȘt sur image" is a show with Arlette Chabot, one of the top French TV journalists, that explores events as they are seen in the media:

The site has extensive video coverage. I am watching a video that explores the evolution of the media coverage of Nicolas Sarkosy's domestic troubles in the context of the French imperative about respecting the private lives of public figures. Another is a portrait of Dominique de Villepin, yet another on the referendum, one on loss of jobs due to relocation of industries.

Finally, a very funny piece that is a review of literary terms (as if for the bac) done through am examination of excerpts from Kaamelott, a comic representation of King Arthur's court that is currently playing on M6.

I don't know to what extent any of this is really usable with lower level students, but it looks like excellent exposure to language to keep French teachers sharp.
