First, “les médias”, the media. “Elle est harcelée par les médias.”, She is harassed by the media.
Then, we have “faire la une”, “to be on the front page”. “Britney Sprears fait encore la une?, Britney Spears is on the front page again?
An essential one, “les infos”, the news. “Je regarde les infos en ligne.”, I watch the news online.
Slang! “un canard” is argot for “a newspaper”. “Je lis mon canard au bistro.”, I read my newspaper at the bistro.
An easy one, “un scoop” surprisingly means “a scoop”…”J’ai un scoop!”, I have a scoop!
