The School of Journalism in Nice organized a video conference with Xavier de Moulins, a prominent journalist from the M6 group. A great meeting for the young students.
The School of Journalism in Nice pulled out all the stops at the end of this week with the presence of a distinguished guest. Indeed, the institution invited J1 students (first-year undergraduates) to a video conference with Xavier de Moulins.
The journalist from M6, notably the presenter of the TV news “Le 19:45” and the show “66 minutes”, is the patron of this class. “Right now, it’s not easy. I think a lot about the students,” acknowledges Xavier de Moulins. “I am very sensitive to student issues. I hope to come to Nice to discuss with you and impart some things if needed.”
Now 49 years old, the journalist has an impressive career background. He holds a master’s degree in literature from the Paris-IV Sorbonne University and a Specialized Graduate Diploma in Telecommunications from the Paris-Dauphine University. Throughout his career, he has worked for numerous media outlets: Le Monde, Les Inrockuptibles, France 5, Canal +, and more.
The School of Journalism at the service of its students
For over an hour, the journalist answered all the students’ questions, from his professional journey to the role of television in the current world, without ignoring the challenges of the journalism profession. “I have always wanted to do this job. I have always wanted to explore the world and take an interest in people’s stories,” explains Xavier de Moulins.
This video conference took place under the attentive eye of Laetitia Bacchieri, director’s assistant at the School of Journalism in Nice and the organizer of this event. In conclusion, Xavier de Moulins also gave advice to this young generation: “You have to be opportunistic and seize the opportunities that come your way. Attitude is very important. We are what we think. Motivation and mindset then make the difference.”
The journalist from M6, the patron of the J1 students, suggested the idea of repeating these types of video conferences to maintain the connection with the students. A fine example of solidarity in these difficult times.
