    C'est la musique - "Change"

    A music-led conversation exploring the ideas, experiences and topics that shape our lives. Each episode focuses on a different theme, from education, cinema and daily routines to life in Paris and personal growth, with a soundtrack that brings the discussion to life. Through music, stories and interviews, the show connects songs to the issues and experiences they reflect. Episode 1: Change Change is something everyone experiences, whether chosen or unexpected. In this first episode, we explore how people navigate moments of transition, uncertainty and growth. Featuring music from artists including The Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, The Verve, etc., we reflect on the emotions that accompany change and how music can help us make sense of it. We also speak with Fanny, a manager at HEC Paris, about her thoughts on change in both personal and professional life.

    Turning Points - Shellie Karabell & Elaine Cobbe

    In this episode of Turning Points, Patricia Killeen speaks with Shellie Karabell and Elaine Cobbe. Shellie is the Editor-in-Chief of Reporting From Paris, and Elaine is its Deputy Editor. Reporting From Paris is a free monthly online news magazine produced by journalists from the Anglo-American Press Association in Paris. It is aimed at a global English-speaking audience with an affinity for Paris and a desire for more than tourist tips and pretty pictures. The publication offers in-depth reporting, analysis, and commentary on the issues shaping France, Europe, and the wider world. Shellie and Elaine believe that the future of journalism lies online. While many journalists have already launched their own bespoke digital platforms, Shellie maintains that solo ventures can only go so far. By bringing experienced journalists together under one banner, there is more to be gained for journalists, readers, and the future of quality journalism. Reporting From Paris seeks to harness the technical and distribution advantages of digital media to deliver real news and insightful analysis from professional journalists. Shellie Karabell has spent more than 40 years in broadcast journalism as a news executive, anchor, producer, and field reporter in her native United States, across Europe, in the former Soviet Union/Russia, and in the Middle East. She has worked for ABC/WTN, PBS, Dow Jones Broadcast, CNBC, and Forbes.com, covering many of the major news events of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. She currently serves as Vice-President of the Anglo-American Press Association of Paris. Elaine Cobbe is an award-winning print and broadcast journalist based in Paris. A former foreign correspondent for CBS News, she has covered many of the major international stories of the past three decades. A regular commentator on French and international politics for news outlets in France and her native Ireland, she is also a researcher and trainer in journalism and trauma. Elaine also serves on the committee of the Anglo-American Press Association of Paris.
