  • An unmanageable editing workload: 28 million words every month meant time spent hunting for errors instead of covering the news.
  • Maintaining quality at scale: with 2,000 journalists, even minor language inconsistencies quickly multiplied and put credibility at risk.
  • Seamless tool adoption: the need for a solution that integrated directly into existing writing tools without disrupting daily workflows
  • Real-time spelling and grammar correction: consistent quality across the entire content production workflow.
  • Native integration with existing tools: instant adoption with no change to daily habits.
  • Measurable time savings: less energy spent on mechanics, more focus on news coverage and editorial accuracy.
  • A true partnership: close collaboration with the MerciApp team to deliver a tailored, end-to-end integration.

France Télévisions produces content for millions of French speakers every day. For its editorial teams, language quality is non-negotiable because it reflects the group’s credibility, article by article.

MerciApp has become the invisible assistant in their daily workflow. Integrated directly into writing tools, it provides real-time corrections and frees up time for what really matters: reporting the news accurately and quickly.

Maintaining editorial excellence across 2,000 journalists

With 28 million words produced every month and hundreds of thousands of articles each year, France Télévisions faces an ongoing challenge: ensuring flawless editorial quality at massive scale.

Before MerciApp, France Télévisions relied on multiple correction tools with limited integration into writing software. The result was time-consuming manual editing, friction in the editorial workflow, and quality that was harder to maintain at scale.

The goal was clear: streamline production without disrupting the daily work of 2,000 journalists and free up time to report the news accurately and quickly.

Native integration, immediate adoption

France Télévisions was looking for a solution that combined best-in-class spelling and grammar correction with seamless integration. MerciApp delivered both: high-quality correction built directly into existing writing tools.

Rollout was done in close collaboration with the France Télévisions teams, listening to their real-world needs and making continuous adjustments. The solution was adopted easily with no push back from teams.
