The birth of the new Egypt

Egypt is currently living a very important page in its history and
Hosni Mubarak's decision to leave confirms the birth of
the New Egypt. A name to watch is that of WAEL GHONIM.
This leader of Google could be a next political leader
Egypt even if he said it will not become a politician
and rather return to her job. He also wants to meet with Mark Zuckerberg
and thank him for creating Facebook that he says
was responsible for the liberation of Egypt. To be continued ...

Interview CBS 60 Minutes

Tribute to Isabelle Adjani... The Art of a successfull book!

The literary or musical is a world where everyone knows each other!
So a few months ago, a French journalist contacted Bernard Bujold, the creator of LeStudio1.com, to interview him about Isabelle Adjani.
"I had photographed her in 2004 at the World Film Festival of Montreal. The journalist from France was referred by one founder of the website Rue 89, Laurent Mauriac, whom I met during a conference on professional journalism. I was very happy to share my experience with Isabelle especially since I always admired this woman and she was the one who inspired me to create the website LeStudio1.com. I was even willing to offer my photos to illustrate the book by the French journalist (Erwan Chuberre). However, out of curiosity, I wanted to know who was the book editor.
Surprise of surprises, it was Pierre Turgeon and his "umpteenth" new publishing house, this time COGITO. I withdrew my offer on the pictures but I squandered my comment that can be read on pages 219 and 220 in the book. I told there my meeting with Isabelle and my photo shoot.
The book THE LEGEND OF Adjani is very well written and we must congratulate the author.
For the success of the book in bookstores, we will have to wait and see the result ...
The art of creating a bestseller, whether in music or literature depends 10% of the author and 90% marketing. In marketing, we can divide tasks into four equal portions which are as follows:
25% publisher; 25% distribution; 25% merchants; and 25% advertising.

The future of newspapers and Rupert Murdoch

The media mogul Rupert Murdoch launched a new Internet newspaper which could well mean the end of traditional paper journals!
THE DAILY is accessible only on iPad but the structure of the newspaper could become the universal model for all news media on the Internet. In total, the invoice launch reached a total of $ 30 million which is very low for such a new medium and it will cost approximately $ 500,000 per week to operate the business. The subscription costs $ 40 per year.
Importantly to note, a social media like MySpace had cost $ 580 million in 2005 to Murdoch and the site has accumulated since losses of $ 156 million. MySpace is now for sale...
The success of The Daily is not acquired but the dice are well thrown!
The only real obstacles that are before Murdoch is the time as he will celebrate his 80th birthday next March 11.

The art of journalism in Egypt

The art of journalism does not seem to be well understand by several international correspondents in particular those currently in Egypt. You should have seen, among others, the french journalist from the Quebec television network TVA, Richard Latendresse, to conclude that he was looking more as an entertainer at the Cirque du Soleil and not as a journalist. We can put in the same category the Anderson Cooper or Katy Couric.
One may question the appropriateness for reporters to try to rub with demonstrators in the streets during their confrontations. According to me, rule number 1 in journalism is discretion in information gathering and rule number 2 is objectivity.
We must defend freedom of press, but we must also keep out the arena of combat whether in boxing or in civil wars. The journalist is there to report and not participate ...
Better for a journalist to take a coffee and watch rather than join the war and die in battle without being able to tell his story!

The old woman is back...

Former Lieutenant Governor of Quebec, Lise Thibault is back in front of the Justice that will decide whether there is a matter to criminal prosecution against the one who describes herself as "Old lady".
Lise Thibault is accused of defrauding her expense accounts for an amount exceeding $ 700,000 when she was the Queen's official representative in Quebec.
The "old lady" spent too much but what is funny is that people who have benefited from her garden parties and her gifts are the same people who now accuse her and want to stone her...
You should have seen at the time all those (journalists, dignitaries, politicians, ordinary citizens) who were more than proud to attend the Lieutenant-Governor's events.
Perhaps the Tribunal should ask for a refund from all those who have benefited from her generosity!
