Day 4's full schedule has been fairly beneficial in regards to my personal knowledge of Paris and my future career. All the walks to the seminar locations granted great insight on the structural blueprint of the city. The way that the architecture of the city of Paris is structured, it’s centuries built on top of centuries. In the US, Americans believe in testing down things, in Europe they just simply build on top. Now, every time we passed by a building it made me wonder, "What was this building previously used for?” Celestine Bohlen, former Moscow correspondent for the Washington Post and the New York Times, indirectly touched on a few point similarities understanding Paris' structural background. Bohlen gave some of the students studying to be journalists a few tips and keys to mastering their career. In regards to the previous mentioning of Paris' architectural background, Bohlen informed the students that history is a major key in the journalism world.
We learned that as journalists you must read a lot in order to produce great stories.According to Bohlen and many of the other speakers, such as Kay Rolland, former publisher of "Where-Magazine-Paris", the demand for journalist is not necessarily high, but there are many journalists out there. Overall, I learned that the only way for you to nail an interview with people who deal with journalists everyday is to know your background information and to be unique. The seminar set the mood for another great day in Paris, France. Another day to go out and be unique!
