I was 7 years old when I decided to create this newspaper, which I directed for almost 2 years, about cultural news I thought will be interesting for my schoolmates.
I interviewed Rémy Chauvin, a great french entomologist, Jean-Louis Etienne, the french explorer, on his boat "Antartica", way to the South Pole, and many others.

This way I became the world's youngest newspaper chief editor
(according to the Guiness Book).
