Daughter of peasants, I held my first camera at the age of 12 to tell the world in pictures. My favourite subjects: agriculture, ecology, resource management, territorial inequalities... As a versatile journalist, I am a photojournalist, editor, presenter and editor if necessary, after several experiences in the news in France and in foreign offices. Co-director of "Maman, j'ai raté l'actu !", a podcast for 8-12 year olds, I lead media education workshops.

Je suis Ilona Cathelin, journaliste pigiste. Le truc que vous voyez sur ma tête, ce n’est pas un serre-tête pour tenir tous mes cheveux mais un casque radio. Il me permet d'écouter les gens, de me concentrer sur le son que j’enregistre et de monter. J'ai commencé par la radio, j'ai adoré. J'ai ensuite découvert le podcast, j'en suis maintenant passionnée. On a souvent l'impression que tous les sujets ont été traités, c'est faux. La preuve, de nouveaux événements arrivent chaque jour. J'aime les raconter à travers la voix de celles et ceux qui les ont vécus.
