The journalist and professor of the School of Journalism Bordeaux Aquitaine de l’Université Michel de Montaigne gives a conference in the Universitat de València to launch her book called ‘Albert Camus, periodista. De reportero en Argel a editorialista en Paris’. This is a work funded by crowdfunding.

The main objective of this book is to get back the persona of Camus, the journalist. The committed and research journalist, a model for people in the profession and master of journalists beside Kapuscinsky, Chaves Nogueres and Oteyza.

The book reviews his career from his beginnings as a reporter in Alger to his work as a leader writer in Paris. From his serie of reports about the poverty in Cabilia to bitting leaders in favour of democracy and peace in Alger Républicain and Soir Republicain (between 1938 and 1940), and in Combat, during the World War and the first years of postwar.
