Four issues and one supplemental issue of "le miroir de l'information" (roughly, "Mirror of Information"), a Parisian periodical published for press relations, including coverage on the press itself, radio, film, television, and other various media. Little is documented on "le miroir," with only a few held in institutions and libraries. The magazine seemingly focused on collecting various bulletins regarding contemporary press topics, like relations between the press and its journalists, presumably distributed to regional theaters, television and radio studios, film companies like Cinedis, and others. Often featured were full-page ads for other press-related publications, books, films, photography studios, women's magazines, even Reader's Digest.
