La Croix, a daily Catholic newspaper based in Paris, sent a reporter, Gilles Biassette, to New York and Winston-Salem to do a feature article on the Debt Jubilee Project and RIP Medical Debt. Mssr. Biassette visited Winston-Salem on June, 22, 2023, when he had an extensive interview with the Rev. John Jackman, the pastor of Trinity Moravian Church and leading organizer of the Debt Jubilee Project. He took a tour of the historic Salem properties, as well as interviewing several volunteers involved in the project.
Principally, the numerous international articles about the Debt Jubilee Project have focussed on the broken US healthcare finance model; the La Croix article also focussed on the victims of the model, who are often poor or on fixed incomes.
