31 March 2023 | Tarnished reputation and a hefty bill for IVV
The Interprofession de la Vigne et du Vin du Valais (IVV) has had one legal setback after another. And it's costing a lot. Who is going to pay? Which begs the question: does the IVV really defend the interests of the wine industry, or just the personal interests of its directors?
17 March 2023 | The scandal is that there is no scandal!
Justice stalls! Unable to unleash her fury on her usual targets, Marie Parvex of Le Matin Dimanche has found a convenient excuse to bring the 'Giroud affair' out of the wardrobe: if Dominique Giroud, without harming anyone, can continue on his merry way out of the spotlight, it's because the Valais Public Prosecutor's Office is letting cases drag on! Out of disorganisation, or even (as one contributor to his article of 12 March 2023 suggests) to 'protect' him. Good grief!
26 October 2021 | One day, Time will prove you right...
Everything happens in the end! After years of relentless attacks orchestrated by its former contributor Marie Parvex, Le Temps seems to be returning to neutrality. The title of the following article, from which we have the pleasure of providing you with significant extracts, bears witness to this. Perhaps this will give the Nouvelliste, Ms Parvex's new employer, some ideas about real journalism... Is the Valais wine world turning against Dominique Giroud? A decision by the Public Prosecutor's Office has levelled serious accusations at the Valais vine and wine association, reports the daily newspaper from the far end of the lake. For the winegrower's camp, "the masks are coming off". As for the association, it is increasingly sceptical of the canton's justice system, to the point of asking...
24 December 2018 | "Temps Présent" Eric Felley's regrets
It's certainly not the kind of article that makes headlines, but that's no reason to pass up an opportunity to thank Le Matin and its journalist Eric Felley. On Christmas Eve 2018, the "lematin.ch" website carried an article headlined "Dominique Giroud's wife died suddenly in Valais". [...]

In a letter sent today to the Board of Trustees of the Swiss Press Council, Dominique Giroud calls on the authority that oversees media ethics to reopen the "Yves Steiner" case, named after the journalist who was caught cheating, lying, threatening, betraying, [...].
20 April 2018 | Yves Steiner and RTS before the Swiss Press Council
By a combination of circumstances, a particularly original corpus from the point of view of media ethics is now available. It concerns the recording by the police of telephone conversations between a journalist and one of his sources. For the first time in the history of journalism in Switzerland - and perhaps even more widely - it is possible to [...]
15 February 2018 | The Federal Supreme Court curtly calls "Temps Présent" journalists to order
In a ruling handed down on 15 February 2018, the Swiss Federal Supreme Court has ruled against RTS and upheld the sentence imposed in 2016 on the "Temps Présent" report on Dominique Giroud. The RTS journalists were once again severely criticised for a "tendentious" report that did not "present a complete [...].
25 January 2018 | The 24 Heures fake news accusing Dominique Giroud
When journalists forget the basics of their profession and fail to check their information, the result is fake news. Today, under the pen of Fabiano Citroni, the daily 24 Heures published such fake news, claiming that Dominique Giroud had been questioned by Patrick Schriber, the public prosecutor, for having sold wine [...].
