Homo Mediaticus
A big thank you to Carine Claude, journalist, whom I have never met and whom I discovered in the course of my research on the web this excellent article that she had published in March 2014 about me.
2014 Homo Mediaticus
A big thank you to Carine Claude, journalist, whom I've never met and whose excellent article on me I discovered in the course of my web research in March 2014.
A professional job that required her to gather together all the elements she presents here in a rather considerable amount of work. But the media sensitivity with which she organizes them in her article tells us that she understood perfectly well what I was trying to say, to make her readers understand the interest that this artist could arouse in them. I searched and searched, and when I asked her if I could use her article for my site, she spontaneously agreed. Many thanks again to her.
