“I was surprised that there was an editorial meeting every morning to talk about the day's newspaper. I really enjoyed following the journalist when he was in the field, as well as in the office. Both are very interesting, and I think it's important to see the various things you can do as a journalist.
I followed a journalist to the town hall for a press conference with two elected officials, to talk about school children who sleep on the street. This touched me a lot and I enjoyed listening to the different proposals from elected officials to resolve the problem as quickly as possible.
I found it very interesting to meet the mother of a girl with a disability. She told us about her documentary and the association she created, with other mothers, to help people who need to find solutions.
I was surprised to learn that there were SRs (editorial secretaries) who, every day, from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m., reread, correct the articles and format the newspaper so that they can then send it out to print. »
“Being a journalist is a lot of work”
“I found that there was a very good atmosphere in the team.West France and I would like to thank them for taking me on an internship, because it really allowed me to realize that this was the profession I would like to pursue.
I didn't necessarily realize it, but being a journalist is a lot of work, you always have to keep up to date with the news, be prepared to be called to get to the field as quickly as possible, etc.
I think we don't talk about them enough. We talk a lot about the news that we can see on the newspapers, on TV, or hear on the radio, but we almost never talk about those who bring us all this information. »
