Side question: is it normal in French to stylize the title as "lemonde"?
It would be strange in English, to my eyes, to refer to a newspaper whose name was "The World" as theworld.

It is sometimes referred as "lemonde.fr", but the space is never omitted if we are not citing the web domain (with its TLD).
