Expertise

Datajournaliste chez mind depuis fin 2023, mon rôle est d’accompagner les cinq rédactions dans la découverte et la mise en récit des données. Ayant d’un côté une formation en journalisme et de l’autre en statistiques et programmation, j’aime naviguer entre les bases de données publiques (Esma, Sirene, Bodacc), scraper de grandes quantités d’informations, mais aussi mener des entretiens et rédiger des articles. En avril 2025, j’ai notamment créé un robot de veille en Python afin de permettre aux journalistes de s’informer sur l’actualité de plusieurs centaines d’entreprises.
