The webtoon industry survey 2023
The "League of professional authors" (a leading French authors' union) is conducting a survey on the global webtoon industry in order to identify the main financial, legal and well-being concerns of webtoons authors.

The native French webtoon market is young and it's expanding at a fast pace.
 
The League's goal is to identify patterns (like abusive contracts) that already showed up in foreign, more developed markets in order to accompany their authors in the best way possible and eventually to advocate with the concerned authorities in favor of better policies.
