MEDIA - She is one of the rising stars of the PAF and undoubtedly one of the notable faces of this 2022 back-to-school season. Journalist Salomé Saqué is taking her first steps as a columnist on C Politique on France 5, this Sunday, September 11 at 6:30 p.m. She works as a columnist on the show now hosted by Thomas Snégaroff. At only 27 years old, the journalist has made a name for herself on social media thanks to her educational videos made for the independent media Blast. Simple and effective on-camera subjects, in which she popularizes economic and climate issues. A hard-hitting tone that resonates particularly in the news of recent weeks. An "environmental turning point" in the media? Heatwave, fires, water shortages... After this hellish summer in terms of climate, one could wonder if the media were going to rethink their way of covering the climate crisis by focusing on this crucial theme. The Radio France group was one of the first to communicate at the start of the school year, announcing that it was taking an "environmental turn". Behind this communication, a 10-point manifesto detailed by CEO Sibyle Veil, below. Among the major measures, the training of employees on climate and scientific issues, but above all the ambition to make this theme "a major editorial focus". A strong commitment that is reflected in particular by the creation of a new scientific meeting hosted by... Salomé Saqué. The journalist is (also) on air on Franceinfo, where she presents "A Degree of Consciousness" with hydrologist Emma Haziza. "These different crises are helping us to move faster in raising awareness and we can't say that nothing is happening in the media", explains Salomé Saqué to the HuffPost, who praises Radio France's editorial effort. Can we therefore speak of a collective surge? "I'm not sure, but we're moving towards more ecology in the media, because it's undeniable that this phenomenon is happening and you'd have to be crazy today to say that there's no global warming." The "Don't Look Up" effect Relatively little known to the public in 2021, the journalist was given unexpected exposure thanks to Netflix... Or rather to this Twitter account, which compared a scene from Adam McKay's film Don't Look Up with an excerpt from Arte's show 28 Minutes in early January 2022, in which she was mocked when she warned about the climate catastrophe. The journalist doesn't seem to be taken seriously... Like the two scientists Kate Dibiasky (Jennifer Lawrence) and Randall Mindy (Leonardo DiCaprio), who in the fiction alert the public about a comet heading straight for Earth. "It shows how crazy this media logic can be," she confides, specifying that she did not experience the scene as a mockery when it was originally broadcast in October 2021. The video has been viewed more than 3 million times on Twitter, giving her a real boost. "It took off suddenly and overnight I found myself an environmental specialist for a one-minute sequence in which I say things that are elementary. What I find almost worrying is that from then on I was invited onto a lot of television sets (...) But perhaps they should have given the floor more to experts and scientists than to me!" The journalist confides that she started to devour IPCC reports "so as not to say stupid things" and to try to popularize them as best she could on television sets. Hyperexposure and cyberbullying In addition to Franceinfo and France 5, Salomé Saqué will continue her videos on Blast and could perhaps return to L'Hebdo Est Tienne, Samuel Étienne's show on Twitch where she was invited for the first issue at the end of August. This media hyperexposure is accompanied by violent waves of cyberbullying. "The more I have progressed in my career, the more I receive threats or insults. The harassment has intensified since the 'Don't Look Up' sequence to the point of sometimes becoming unbearable," she admits, recounting having already been unpleasantly accosted in the street by strangers. "You can't remain indifferent to 100 messages calling you a slut. I think it's important to talk about it so that it stops and people understand that it's illegal in addition to not being normal. »---- Subscribe to the HuffPost YouTube channel now: / lehuffpost For more HuffPost content: Web: https://www.huffingtonpost.fr/ Facebook: / lehuffpost Twitter: / lehuffpost Instagram: / lehuffpost To receive our free daily newsletter: https://www.huffingtonpost.fr/newslet...
