Julie Jammot

The 2008 winner of the Nico Colchester Fellowship, Julie Jammot worked for the UK news team and for the worldweb team of the Financial Times in London from August to November. She was involved from the outset in the great 2008 financial meltdown, reporting from Lehman Brothers’ London office as the bank folded down.

Beware of exciting times… Her three months were thus a succession of intense and exciting days, as she grappled with the peculiarities of the British political and social system and discovered how editorial choices directly influence the audience on the Web.

As one of the youngest winners of the Fellowship, she had but a few work experiences before her stint at the FT, in French radio, web and financial press. She also had studied journalism in Germany and worked for a website and a print magazine in Taiwan.

Julie is now completing her journalism degree at the leading French school ESJ, in Lille. She’s becoming an expert with a TV camera. Never to forget her great days at the FT and the journalists she got the chance to work with, she’s brushing up her skills for what she hopes will be an international, multimedia future.
