Ask for the “Courrier international” program in July in Couthures-sur-Garonne!

How to tame artificial intelligence? Can we still believe in the ecological transition? Is feminism outdated? And by the way, what’s the point of partying? Questions will arise during the tenth edition of the International Journalism Festival, in Couthures-sur-Garonne. Organized by the editorial staff of the Le Monde group, the event will once again take place in this small town in Lot-et-Garonne, from July 10 to 12. It will bring together the largest editorial staff in the world in all its plurality and diversity. Information professionals and current affairs players will come together to discuss with you the major subjects that drive our societies and the role of the media in their coverage.

Witnesses will remind us of the existence of situations that are too often forgotten in the flow of information that reaches us, such as those in Afghanistan or Yemen. Other meetings will make it possible to identify future crises, such as the one looming in Cuba.

These meetings are organized within the framework of the International Kiosk, run by journalists from the editorial staff, who will also host the Correspondents’ Club, made up of reporters from the European press based in France.
