    📚 NOUVEAUTÉ|Les premiers livres issus du partenariat entre Cercle d'Art × l'AFP sont arrivés ! Très heureux de recevoir les trois premiers ouvrages nés de cette collaboration exceptionnelle avec l’Agence France-Presse. 📌 Au programme : les années 1980, les années 1990 et Paris 👉 Trois livres pour redécouvrir des décennies qui ont marqué notre histoire et une ville qui ne cesse de se réinventer, à travers le regard des photographes de l’AFP. 📸 Des photographies emblématiques, mais aussi des images parfois inédites, sélectionnées dans les archives de l’AFP 🔎 Plus de 6 millions de clichés argentiques explorés pour faire émerger des images fortes, intemporelles et révélatrices de leur époque 📖 Des ouvrages qui associent force documentaire, puissance émotionnelle et qualité éditoriale ✨ Des images qui racontent leur époque ! Depuis 1944, l’AFP photographie le monde au présent. Aujourd’hui, ces images prennent une nouvelle dimension entre les pages des livres de Cercle d’Art : un temps pour regarder, contextualiser et transmettre ce qui, sur le moment, n’était parfois qu’une actualité. Cette collection fait ainsi dialoguer l’instant photographique et le temps long du livre, pour faire vivre autrement notre mémoire collective. 🇫🇷 Deux institutions françaises de référence réunies pour des livres imprimés en France, au cœur d’un savoir-faire éditorial et graphique français. 📚 Les trois ouvrages sont disponibles dès à présent sur le site de Cercle d’Art et très prochainement en librairies. #livre #cercledart #afp #paris Thomas Vivien Christophe Calais Jerome Martin Grégoire Lemarchand Bastien Forato Élisa Bénard Marie Dussaussoy Sophie Ribot Luc Martin Emma IENTILE

    🇮🇩 Sixty-two journalists and students in Indonesia sharpened their digital investigation skills from September 16-17 during AFP’s first-ever bootcamp in Indonesia. AFP Fact Check journalists Sophia Xu, Safrin L., Gemma Holliani Cahya, Felix Nathaniel and Ramadani Saputra led the two-day workshop in Greater Jakarta. They shared the latest tools and best practices to verify online information, identify AI deepfakes and find trustworthy sources, using modules from the award-winning AFP Digital Courses. In his opening remarks, Jakarta bureau chief Eric Bernaudeau highlighted the importance of AFP’s work countering misinformation in the digital age. 🔎 Participants from 12 media organisations and two universities in Indonesia worked through hands-on exercises and local case studies to enhance their digital investigation skills during major news events, such as the 2024 Indonesian elections and recent natural disasters. The bootcamp was supported by the Google News Initiative and the Universitas Multimedia Nusantara.
