MédiaLab FrancophonieFollowing the coverage of the Francophonie Summit by students from 7 French-speaking countries who met in Paris to form a temporary editorial team as part of the MédiaLab francophonie project at the beginning of October, and given the success of this event, CFI and EPJT decided to repeat the event at the European Journalism Conference in Brussels from 20 to 22 November.
The theme of the second conference was “Artificial Intelligence, the Media, Europe and Me”.
The event, co-organised by the Journalisme et Citoyenneté association (France) and IHECS (Belgium), with CFI as a partner, brought together information professionals, journalists, executives, academics, students and teachers from the 27 countries of the European Union, for a programme of some forty events and two evenings at Espace Magh.
A team of around twenty students from two French schools (EPJT - Tours, EJC - Cannes), one Belgian school (IHECS) and one Romanian school (FJSC), supervised by two teachers from the EPJT (Laure Colmant, Jamie Smith) and one teacher from IEHCS (Nordine Nabili) covered all the news from the conference. Artificial intelligence was debated over the course of three days from a number of angles: its usefulness, its potential, but also the dangers and threats to the profession and the media, whether in terms of investigative reporting, photojournalism, teaching or climate issues.
37 productions in French and English, created by students divided into inter-school pairs, were published: summaries of debates, interviews and podcasts that can be found on the dedicated page on the Factoscope website.
