Being a journalist means helping to describe our surroundings, expressing oneself via channels which were founded to spread knowledge in the plural form. Newspapers, periodicals, blogs, comic books, all go together to form this network of channels. Journalism is much more than compiling facts or relating events: it involves narration, making choices within the hierarchical organisation of elements and placing language centre stage in order to give it all the space required to adequately express its subject matter.\u00a0The workshop event\u00a0Raconter le r\u00e9el \u2013 Le journalisme litt\u00e9raire en Pologne et en Belgique (Telling it like it is \u2013 literary journalism in Poland and in Belgium)\u00a0<\/em>wants to use these debates to focus on the means of expression afforded to journalists.
<\/strong>The tradition of literary reportage is very important in Poland: from\u00a0Ryszard KAPU\u015aCI\u0143SKI<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Hanna KRALL<\/strong>\u00a0to the establishment of the\u00a0Institute of Literary Reportage<\/a>\u00a0by\u00a0Mariusz SZCZYGIE\u0141<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Wojciech TOCHMAN<\/strong>, this literary form is in rude health, notably in the weekly printed press. In Belgium, it is less well-known, perhaps beacuse it is expressed through different channels. Blogs and comics in particular come to mind, or the very new mooks (a contraction of the words \u2018magazine\u2019 and \u2018books\u2019), such as\u00a024h01<\/a>, which prioritise long formats. The list goes on.
Talking about these traditions and these forms, reporters and their narrative choices, means asking questions about the urgency of information, dissecting the nitty gritty and placing it front and centre.
The\u00a0CLUB DE LA PRESSE DU HAINAUT-MONS<\/a>\u00a0is joining forces with the\u00a0Brussels Polish Institute<\/a>\u00a0to give journalists the exceptional opportunity to give their views on the subject in the new\u00a0Utopia space<\/strong>\u00a0(part of\u00a0MUNDANEUM<\/a>).
