Sorry Barbican, I’ll hopefully complete this
piece more seriously but due to plagiarism / competition from French
publications, I am getting really tired.
Here is an
explanation:
Here is a statement:
Recently, I
was surprised to read my article on Grenfell Tower fire in the
respectable Le Monde newspaper (21 June 2017).
However, the
article was signed by a young man Florian Reynaud. I say ‘young man’ not as
opposed to ‘old lady’, but to stress (French) media attention to youth and male
reporters / journalists.
After sending a
few emails to high rank position holders Luc Bronner & Jérôme
Fenoglio @ Le Monde (still unanswered to this day), I wrote a piece
related to sexism via silence while mentioning my activities in London, a city
I have lived in since mid 90’s: http://babylondonorbital.blogspot.co.uk/2017/06/silence-sexist-way-of-behaving.html
Am
I not more legitimate to write on Grenfell than this young man? Could my gender
and age be a real issue?
On 10 July, I
watched vidéo de Prenons La Une (posted in March 2016) where Luc Bronner is invited to talk
about women’s position in the [FR] media. He admits that equality is still a
work in progress, adding that expert women on specific topics are rare. They
are more commonly seen in the news as victims. In his honest view, I wonder
in what field is Florian Reynaud an
expert? How could he be an expert on Grenfell if he seems to copy-paste (BBC, The
Guardian, my blog), translate?
On 23 September
2017, editor in chief Katharine Viner @ The
Guardian is a guest on Post Truth Politics for Le Monde
Are
women over 45 years old more tolerated and welcome if they hold a ‘glam’ work
position? Are women taken more seriously in order to cover up male editors who
fall ‘victims’ of their sexism? Passed 45 years old, can an unemployed female
journalist hope to be published in a mainstream media?
[These questions
are also valid for people who are disabled, non white or LGBTI]
Le Monde is not
the only one to pillage my blog (their silence leaves an open door to
discomfort).
Matthieu
Pigasse owns also Les Inrocks who have
helped themselves on my ideas / articles on the London cultural city since I’ve
started to e-publish myself… covering same topics, visiting same galleries /
museums (London has so many of them). As if the English capital was a small
town where little was happening!
Worse thing is
young journalists copy a woman who could be their mother... I am therefore
rejuvenating their weekly paper’s image! If only they could focus on Paris...
Surely, there must be some happenings there?
Shame Luc
Bronner has been ignoring my emails! Shame he seems to protect himself on the
sexism issue by RT / follow (young) women since my emails!
Elitism luxury,
media power should also give courage to communicate, reassure... preventing
from provoking distress! Courage is not about simply worshipping Simone
Veil or Virginie Despentes. It should also be about
imitating these women / taking a stance... Courage shouldn’t be about using
women as a shield against its guilty conscience! Hello Luc Bronner /
Jérôme Fenoglio and anybody at Les Inrocks!
