Paris round table examines lack of diversity in French newsrooms

A round table in Paris has examined the experiences of Black journalists in French media, with journalist Estelle Ndjandjo hosting the discussion.

The event comes as questions continue over underrepresentation in newsrooms and the barriers faced by those trying to enter the profession.

The supporting material says Black journalists remain underrepresented in French media.

It adds that the obstacles described by journalists do not end once they enter the industry.

The discussion focused on elite journalism schools, newsroom hiring and what the material describes as a system shaped by exclusion, stereotypes and unequal opportunity.

No further details were provided on the participants or any formal outcomes from the meeting.

The issue matters because it points to wider concerns about access and representation in a sector that helps shape public debate.

The round table was presented as a chance to ask how deep the problem goes and what needs to change.

The material identifies Paris as the location and Thursday as the day of the round table.
