Marketing - Tourism & Travel / testimonials
English term or phrase: In the news
Hello,

The client is in the tourism industry and appears in many newspapers. He wants to have a section dedicated for testimonials, but specifically for the news and he called the section "in the news".

Do you have any suggestions as to how to turn this into a more "marketing effect"?

I thought of "à la une", but it is not really "la une" because client appears in the newspaper, but not the headline. I also thought about "faire l'actualité".

Thank you for your suggestions!

On parle de nous
Explanation:
I know it's not an accurate translation but in the context that you need, we often see companies using that title for a press review section on their website. See examples in the links below.

agree  Tony M: Yes, though that's really more 'latest news about us', rather than 'press coverage', isn't it?

ce qu'ils disent sur nous...


Explanation:
This is one formulation I've come across quite a lot when translating FR websites.
Here's just one random example I found with a quick Google:

neutral  Emmanuella: ce qu'ils disent de nous α) Faire connaître par la parole, énoncer, exprimer. Dire qqc. à, de qqn,

  -> Thanks, Mama! I think the (mis)use of 'sur' is quite deliberate in this specific expression, which does appear on a lot of (native) FR websites I've come across.
neutral  Premium✍️: La formulation est un peu gauche et grammaticalement incorrecte. On parle *de* qqn ou *de* qqc. De plus, ça fait un p'tit peu "gossipy" and "chismes"

  -> Thanks, MP! I do agree, but the fact is, it is indeed used on a lot of FR websites, and with the 'sur'; and I think that's exactly the idea: "what they're saying about us", which in EN would be great — and apparently some FR website owners think so too.

dans l'actu


Explanation:
In the news = Dans l'actu (Pour garder le même registre et le même ton > "marketing effect" ). Dans l'actualité fait un peu plus long et plus formel.
