International Scoop and Journalism Festival was a French festival held every year in Angers, in the Maine-et-Loire département. Its last edition in Angers took place in November 2010. The following year, the festival moved to Lille, and after this edition, the organizers announced that they would not be holding the event again.

Presentation

Each year, the Angevin scoop festival tackled a social theme: "Women at the heart of a reflection on journalism and history", "Journalism and history", "Environment and information: ... the role of the media...".

For over a week, debates and symposia bring together more than a thousand journalists, as well as historians and other privileged witnesses of the 20th century. They address cross-disciplinary themes, scientific, geopolitical and social issues. Trophies are also awarded for the best reports of the year. The festival welcomes leading names from the French and foreign press.

Exhibitions and workshops are held around these exchanges and meetings. In addition to its professional vocation, the festival offers educational activities for the general public and for young people (middle and high schools), enabling them to gain a better understanding of the world of news and journalism. As a partner of the festival, Clemi (Centre de liaison de l'enseignement et des moyens d'information) organizes a two-day training course on the festival site, enabling teachers to meet the journalists present. It is also involved in organizing the half-days reserved for schoolchildren.

The "Festival du scoop et du journalisme" relocates a number of events in its program. Some days and evenings are organized in Cholet or Château-Gontier.

History

In 1985, under the presidency of Edward Behr, the Festival du scoop et du journalisme was created in Angers.

In 2007, the Angers festival boasted since its inception:

  • 1,200 journalists ;
  • 150,000 spectators for some sixty debates, meetings and workshops;
  • half a million visitors to the thirty or so exhibitions presented annually;
  • 10 television programs, including France 3's Des Racines et des Ailes for three years running;
  • 18 prizes, including the Grand Prix Jean-Louis Calderon.In March 2009, as part of a budget review, Angers mayor Jean-Claude Antonini decided to cancel the city's €142,000 contribution to the Festival du Scoop. As a result, the festival's very existence was threatened.

2010 marks the 25th edition, with Patrick de Carolis as honorary president. The organizers indicate that this is the last Angevine edition.

The following year, in 2011, the festival moved to Lille, where it was renamed Scoop Grand Lille, the European Journalism Festival.

In October 2012, the EVA-flash team announced that it would not be running the "Scoop Festival" again.

Themes per year

Each year, the festival tackled a different theme:

In 1993, Journalism in wartime, Algeria, justice;

In 2004, Violence and Journalism;

In 2005, Journalism and History;

In 2006, Sport and the Media;

In 2007, Environment and information ... the role of the media ... ;

In 2008, La femme ... acteur du siècle ;

In 2009, Peopolisation de l'information : où va le journalisme ;
