A Media Launches Call for Testimonies About Tears of Joy
Le Monde invites its readers to share moments when joy brought them to tears, as part of a column devoted to intimate experiences.

The newspaper Le Monde published, on September 16, 2026, a call for testimonies from its readers on the theme of tears of joy. This appeal is part of Le Monde's "Intimacies" column, which regularly collects personal accounts of emotional experiences.
According to the text published by Le Monde, readers are invited to describe a moment when they "felt joy" and when, "suddenly, tears came." The media poses several questions to those wishing to participate: "What brought them on? How did you experience that moment? What memory have you kept of it?"
This type of call for contributions is part of an editorial format in which newsrooms collect testimonies from individuals to feed articles or reports on shared human experiences. Le Monde did not specify, in this appeal, how the collected testimonies would be used or the publication timeline for a possible synthesis article.
The appeal includes no further details on the practical aspects of participation, such as submission channels or the criteria for selecting testimonies.
