So I need to know what French newspapers, magazines and other publications would be likely to buy articles and publish them from a freelancer in Iraq. Who does their own foreign reporting these days?

I've found that Le Monde and Le Point have been buying articles from war correspondents in Iraq. Interestingly, a real journalist from Poland had several articles published in Le Monde, which suggests that my fictional French-speaking Polish journalist will do the same.
