Alexandra Renard, SciencesCom 2000, Special Correspondent – France 24
Alexandra Renard is what is known as a special correspondent and she has been around the media block a few times. She started out working for a variety of broadcasting outlets, laying down her hat – figuratively speaking – at France 24, where she has worked as a video journalist and then special correspondent since 2006. She found her vocational calling very early on which led to her enrolling at SciencesCom, Audencia’s School of Communication and Media Studies, before roving around some fifty countries, reporting chiefly in conflict-affected areas. To keep us informed, Alexandra has risked her life on more than one occasion…
Since giving birth to her daughter Maxance 15 months ago, her trips have become shorter and less far from home. Yet, this career is well and truly in her blood. You can hear it in her voice and sense it. Alexandra loves talking about this experience of being a special correspondent. Moreover, this is what she does in her role as a lecturer at the Sciences Po School of Journalism. Hardly surprising, given her burning desire to relay information since her teenage years. This reveals a side to her personality that we will discover more as our interview unfolds, a hands-on interview conducted at her place of work.
