[Le Club au FIJ 2026] Christophe Gleizes expected at the International Journalism Festival – Club Presse Bordeaux

The journalist, native of Agen, is expected next door in July in Couthures-sur-Garonne for the major annual journalism meeting.

/We do not yet know if the record of 10,000 participants will be reached on July 10/11 and 12 at the end of the three days of the tenth edition of the International Journalism Festival. This is the wish of the Le Monde group which is organizing this summer meeting. Above all, the organizers hope that the sports journalist sentenced to seven years in prison in June 2025 and detained in Algiers. An expectation expressed on May 28 during the presentation of the 2026 program and shared by everyone including the region, the department and Couthures-sur-Garonne through the voice of its mayor, Isabelle Gajac.

Among the 150 guests, Dimitri Mouratov, this journalist who won the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize, a comedian Charline Vanhoenacker, a YouTuber, Seumboy, an environmental deputy Sandrine Rousseau, the president of the parliamentary commission on public broadcasting, Jérémie Patrier-Leitus, journalists from the independent press will be in the Couthures bathhouse to testify about their experience, discuss, listen to the public of the Festival, which is largely open to young people.

The major themes are now more developed. During the press conference held in the heart of the tomato greenhouses in Sainte-Bazeille, the president of the Festival, Gilles von Kote gave a foretaste of these studious and relaxed days at the same time.

We will be there

The Bordeaux-Nouvelle-Aquitaine Press Club will once again be present this year in Couthures-sur-Garonne with two conferences and three workshops around centers of interest and questions: how to inform despite everything in Iran, the LGV between support and opposition, women put to the test of journalism, AI Is it good or not good?, the map of the media landscape in France.

With Le Monde, with the inhabitants of Couthures-sur-Garonne, with Christophe Gleizes and among the public, the Club’s journalists are counting on you to participate in these days under the apple trees and on the banks of the Garonne.
