05/15/08 - Appel à candidatures pour le 4e Prix Louise Weiss d’AJE France

Avec le concours du Secrétariat d'état aux affaires européennes francais, la section française de l'AJE lance un appel à candidatures pour la 4e édition du Prix Louise Weiss du Journalisme européen, dont l'objectif est d'encourager les journalistes à un traitement plus systématique, plus pédagogique et plus original des sujets européens, contribuant en cela à réduire « la fracture européenne », évoquée bien avant le référendum de 2005 par l'AJE.

Un prix sera décerné à un journaliste confirmé, l'autre à un journaliste débutant ou bien encore en formation en école de journalisme. Les candidats devront proposer un article, un reportage ou une enquête en langue française, dont le thème est laissé libre. Les journalistes qui souhaitent participer peuvent soumettre leurs articles, enquêtes, reportages et chroniques par courriel uniquement : contact(nospam)@ajefrance.com - supprimer (nospam) en nous écrivant - et au plus tard le 30 septembre 2008.
