French papers launch classified ad supplement

Two French newspapers have formed a partnership to launch a print supplement of job classifieds. Le Figaro and l'Express will distribute more than 800,000 copies of the supplement from March 12. Entitled Réussir (Succeed), it will be published on Mondays in Le Figaro and on Thursdays in l'Express. The papers said in a joint statement that it will offer "the most powerful print employment classifieds platform in the French press." It will also publish ads from the papers' websites and from other specialised recruitment websites. But will this initiative really draw job-seekers away from the net? (Via Editors' weblog)
