Florence Dauchez Publishes 'Le Prix du Journalisme' Featuring Albert Londres Laureates

Journalist Florence Dauchez has released 'Le Prix du journalisme', a book derived from a podcast series distributed by the INA, in which eleven female winners of the Albert Londres Prize recount the behind-the-scenes realities of reporting and their commitment to information. The project aims to preserve the memory of investigative journalism for future generations, described by Dauchez as capturing a treasure in an amphora. By exclusively featuring women laureates, the work highlights a more sensitive approach to current events, with Dauchez noting that female reporters often gain access to women in countries where men cannot, thereby completing the narrative. She emphasizes the economic precariousness of journalism, stating that most journalists live with precarious income, and that the profession is driven by values rather than money. Dauchez underscores journalism's role in holding power accountable and strengthening democracy, especially in an era of information warfare and public distrust. The book is published by INA Éditions, and the 10-episode podcast is available on all platforms. The interview aired on RFI's 'L'Atelier des médias' on May 9, 2026.
