I have a got a master degree in science (physics; climate), and I am completing this year a degree in science journalism at the french school of journalism in Lille (France). I would be very interested to work in the UK, and especially in Cambridge, where my partner work. However, being french, I am more confortable writting in French, and I would rather write stories in French. Would you know whether some french science journalism editorial office have correspondant in London or Cambridge? Or would you have any advise on the kind of job (in journalism) in the UK where speaking/writing french could be an asset? > > Thank you very much for your help, > Kind regards, > Anais > ********************************************************************** 1.
