Finalist Bridgestone e-reporter 2009 !

Vandaag, woensdag 6 mei 2009, is bekend geworden dat ik een van de elf finalisten van de Bridgestone e-reporter competitie ben. Eind juli reis ik naar de F1 Grand Prix van Hongarije om verslag te doen van de GP2 races. Daar krijg ik de unieke kans om interessante mensen te ontmoeten en ervaring op te doen. Mijn belevenissen en verslagen worden gepubliceerd op de website van Bridgestone en de officiële site van de F1; Formula1.com. Maar natuurlijk zal ik ook mijn weblog bijhouden.

Dit is een ontzettend mooie kans waarvoor ik Bridgestone nu al enorm voor wil bedanken. Ik kijk érg uit naar dat weekend!!!

Bridgestone e-reporter finalists announced for 2009
Bridgestone has announced the names of the 11 finalists for the 2009 e-reporter young journalists contest, as the opening round of the Bridgestone-backed GP2 Series takes place this weekend at the Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona (8-10 May).

Eight finalists are attending a Formula One race weekend to follow the GP2 Series this season, while three others will get the opportunity to witness the two-wheeled action of MotoGP. All finalists will be reporting on the Bridgestone-supported championships for Bridgestone?s website, (www.bridgestone.eu/e-reporter), and interviewing riders or drivers to fine tune their journalistic skills.

2009 marks the sixth year of the popular e-reporter initiative, and once again a record number of entries have been submitted by students from all across Europe. Following an in-depth judging process conducted by international journalists and respected figureheads from motorsport, the Bridgestone e-reporter finalists confirmed for 2009, and attending the following races, are:

8-10 May – GP2  Spain – Ferran Lopez Margall (Spain)
15-17 May – MotoGP  France – Simona Vogel (Germany)
21-23 May – GP2  Monaco – Filip Cleeren (Belgium)
12-14 June – MotoGP  Spain – Renaud Lacroix (France)
19-21 June – GP2  Silverstone – Stephanie Black (UK)
25-27 June – MotoGP  Assen – Lukasz Lesniewski (Poland)
10-12 July – GP2  Germany – Kate Goodacre (UK)
24-26 July – GP2  Hungary – Tim Biesbrouck (Netherlands)
21-23 August – GP2  Europe – Joao Filipe (Portugal)
28-30 August – GP2  Belgium – Mieke Vercammen (Belgium)
11-13 Sept – GP2  Monza – Nicola Del Medico (Italy)

Bridgestone’s 2009 finalists will be taking up the challenge of the e-reporter programme, and they follow in the footsteps of previous e-reporter finalists now working in broadcast and print journalism within the Formula One paddock: Guillaume Navarro (overall winner in 2008) secured a position at the beginning of the year with French radio station RMC Sport radio (Radio Monte Carlo); Tabatha Valls Halling now works for the Spanish television station TV3; Martin Westerhoff writes for the German publication Auto Bild Motorsport; and Laura Postma continues reporting for the Dutch magazine Formule 1 Race Report.

All 2009 e-reporter entrants, when applying for the competition, were required to demonstrate their ability to write a newsworthy story and develop creative interview questions. Bridgestone was also keen to make the contest as accessible as possible to students from all over Europe, allowing this year’s entries to be submitted in English, Dutch, French, German, Polish, Spanish or Portuguese.

Commenting on e-reporter entries for 2009, Des Collins, Vice President of the European Communications Office, Bridgestone Europe, said, “Bridgestone e-reporter continues to identify and nurture young journalistic talent, and we are absolutely delighted with the high level of entries for e-reporter which consistently increases year-on-year. It is also testament to the competition that so many finalists from previous years can now be seen working in Formula One. Bridgestone is honoured that so many e-reporters have been successful and are now working in the world of media due to their involvement in the competition. In 2009 we have more finalists than ever before. It promises to be a great year for the chosen e- reporters as they will experience the GP2 Series or MotoGP Championship from inside the paddock.”

Bridgestone e-reporter aims to help talented young writers to develop their skills, whilst also providing students with the chance of a lifetime as they become part of the Bridgestone team at a GP2 or MotoGP race event. The overall winner of this year?s e-reporter competition, chosen for their ability to represent the Bridgestone brand and demonstrate their natural flair for journalism, will be announced in September 2009.
