Robert Gironcelle
As a visual journalist for Reuters , an international news agency, I produce photo and video reports on current events and in-depth investigations. I document events on the ground by combining photography and audiovisual production, transforming complex situations into impactful visual narratives. I also write analytical articles that provide context and insight beyond the real-time news.
I produce social media video content for The Conversation France, managing the complete production cycle independently. I have developed systems that support 3-4 weekly video releases across YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn...
My responsibilities span scriptwriting, voice-over work, motion graphics editing, and multi-platform publishing.
At AJ+ français, I produced and directed social media journalism while launching @ajplusfrancais on Instagram. I developed interactive formats including stories, social cards, and visual quizzes that were subsequently implemented across @ajplusarabi and @ajplusespanol. I filmed videos in Doha and abroad, and now freelance with AJ+ producing field reports.
At Le Journal de l'île de La Réunion, I led social media strategy for the Clicanoo website. I achieved platform verification for all @clicanoo accounts and designed a new visual branding system suited to multiple formats and editorial tools. I created daily multimedia content (infographics, articles, and videos) optimized for social networks (@clicanoo) and web distribution.
With France Volontaires, I worked as journalist-trainer at Seychelles Broadcasting Corporation, covering the pandemic, producing anti-disinformation content, and reporting on the country's first democratic transition since the 1977 coup. I trained journalists in video editing and French news production.
As a freelance journalist, I write for diverse publications including Têtu, France Info, Les Échos, Forbes, Nextpit... I focus on space exploration, scientific discovery, emerging technologies, human rights, and social issues. I seek to make complex topics accessible while highlighting their human dimension.
