The 10 journalists of Radio Sikoro - six on the left, four on the right. 


Five finalists (Soummou, Marie, Saran, Massitan, Safiatou) held a writing conference, a round table in the studio on the theme, "influence of social networks on girls." They went on camera one by one to introduce themselves and describe their motivations.
