Aged 26, Mathis Slimano is completing his Masters in journalism, radio specialization, at the Bordeaux Aquitaine Institute of Journalism (IJBA).

The four candidates, pre-selected on application by a first jury, presented a complete ten-minute newspaper with sound elements and a short report illustrating a recent current event. They then had an interview in front of a jury made up of journalists from France Médias Monde.

The jury particularly appreciated his ease at the microphone, his hierarchy of information and his obvious tropism for the presentation of newspapers.
