A round table was held on Thursday september 22, 2022, from 4:30 to 6:30 pm in amphitheatre A on the theme of journalism as a "passionnate job".
The round table is organized as part of the preparation of the Etats généraux de la formation et de l'emploi des jeunes journalistes which will be held at the beginning of October in Paris. The Etats généraux are organized by the Conférence des écoles de journalisme and our round table, like other events organized in the different schools, will be presented at a plenary conference. The theme was chosen by a working group of students from the J2 class who contributed to the preparation of the "Etats généraux".
The panel of our round table was composed of :
-
Jean-Marie Leforestier, editor in chief at Marsactu
-
Thierry Valero, deputy editor-in-chief of Anne-Sophie Maxime in charge of regional news at France Télévisions in PACA, and long-time editor-in-chief at France 2 in charge of regional correspondents
-
Romain Capdepon, journalist reporter at La Provence and former head of the police-justice section, author of the book Les Minots
-
Yacine Amenna, doctoral student at the EHESS, Norbert Elias Center, working on Professional soccer and its strategies for recruiting and training young people in France and Germany. He will bring a sociological perspective on the issues of vocation and integration of young professionals.
The idea of the theme is to question the passionate and vocational dimension of journalism, its stakes in terms of investment in work (articulation of professional and personal life), the possible differences between young journalists and previous generations in the investment in work, as well as the role of vocation and passion in choosing a career in journalism.
