Aged 23, Alexandra Lagarde is completing her M2 at the Sciences Po School of Journalism in Paris, carried out on a work-study basis.
She is completing her apprenticeship in the premises of Radio France this summer.
The four candidates, preselected on file by a first jury, presented a complete 10-minute newspaper with sound elements, and a short report illustrating a recent current event.
They were then interviewed by a select jury for health reasons, made up of three RFI editors.
The jury particularly appreciated Alexandra's mastery of the information hierarchy, her ease at the microphone and her writing adapted to the presentation of an RFI newspaper.
