This article examines information-sharing behaviour on Facebook during the 2017 French presidential campaign. It focuses on how the contents of the regional daily press (RDP) are used by the main political communities. We show that the editorial particularities of this local press are used by all communities, but above all by supporters of the “Front national” (national far-right party). They exploit the lack of editorialization of the short news items produced by the RDP to back up their rhetoric and promote their political ideology.
