About Jade L.

I am a bilingual French English journalist who grew up in the Alps. I studied International Journalism at Cardiff University, where I graduated with a distinction. My main area of interest lies in geopolitics and human rights. I investigated the effects of religious nationalism in Armenia, questioning democratic processes and the roles played by the church in society and politics. I have shot and edited stories on refugees from Calais to Cardiff, but also covered cultural topics from sneaker trends to the art of graffiti. Former BMX-race athlete, I am a sport-addicted which led me to cover women and girls in sport and other punchy stories including on the business of Mixed Martial Arts. By nature, I am curious and adventurous, I like to observe new cultures and to learn from people. Having travelled in many countries, I have a multicultural and open-minded perspective of the world: I understand four languages. For me, journalism is a field of exploration and encounters. I like to listen, to feel, to perceive, to shoot pictures and to transcribe the experience by sharing these impressions through reporting. I am currently working for France24 for the French and the English channels. My reports have been published by InsideOver, Voice Of America, and Worldcrunch. I also used to work for several magazines and newspaper in France including L’Équipe, Courrier International and Le Dauphiné Libéré. I also used to be a reporter for the Paris-based Institute Open Diplomacy. As a young woman, I want to prove to my generation why journalism matters. I am convinced that understanding our environment requires a thorough study of the world. I believe journalism is a means of involvement and engagement. I want to share with society my passion for international news, and to convince others of its importance. Determination, tenacity and optimism drive my everyday life!
