Sébastien Bou
@sbastienbou
Experienced journalist and media specialist with a focus on impactful storytelling.
What I'm looking for
I am a seasoned journalist with over a decade of experience in various media roles, including freelancing for regional and national television networks in Belgium and France. My journey in journalism has taken me from being a senior reporter and trainer at Al Jazeera Qatar Media Group to becoming the bureau chief and shareholder at BewTV in Barcelona. My work has been recognized for its depth and insight, particularly in covering critical global issues such as the Syrian refugee crisis and counter-terrorism efforts in Spain.
Throughout my career, I have produced and directed numerous documentaries and features that highlight the human experience in conflict zones. My commitment to storytelling is reflected in my work, which has aired on prominent channels like France 24 and Canal +. I am also skilled in pre-production, directing, and post-production, with a strong technical background in hardware and software maintenance, making me a versatile asset in any media environment.
