Journalism Passion: From Teen Intern to Writer

Sorlin Chanel, a journalist with Stratégies, began her career with a brief internship at L’Équipe Magazine in April 2004, an experience she describes as formative. At the time, Chanel was a student, gaining initial exposure to the field of journalism.

Chanel’s work at Stratégies focuses on analyzing brand, communication, and advertising strategies. Her path to this role began with that initial stage at L’Équipe Magazine, as noted on her LinkedIn profile. The magazine, a weekly publication available in newsstands every Wednesday and as a supplement to L’Équipe on Saturdays, has undergone changes in recent years. Until September 2025, it served as the weekly supplement to the daily sports newspaper L’Équipe, a practice established on February 2, 1980.

An August 2004 issue of L’Équipe Magazine, featuring athlete Justin Gatlin, is currently being offered for sale online. The magazine, in quality condition according to the seller, is priced at €9.99, with shipping costs of €7.00 to international destinations. This issue highlights the magazine’s coverage of athletics and its focus on prominent sports figures.

L’Équipe Magazine, originally founded in 1964 with a bimestrial format, evolved into its current weekly structure in 1980. The first issue of the revamped magazine featured French rugby player Jean-Pierre Rives on its cover. The publication includes in-depth reporting, photography, and analysis from contributors such as Erik Bielderman, Jean-Christophe Collin, and others, offering a detailed perspective on the world of sports.
