From May to June 1968, television technicians and journalists at channel ORTF striked. This strike would play an important role in May 68 in France.

Background

The strike became as a reaction to government interference with editorial coverage of political topic on French television.[1] [2]

This resulted in a nationwide strike by employees of ORTF television. This affected French television as ORTF had a 65% share of the television audience at the time.[3] [4]

Reception

The television strike was widely condemned by the mainstream media such as Le Monde.[5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10][11][12]
