Reporters of Hope
While a consultant in strategy and change management in the consulting firm BearingPoint (ex Arthur Andersen), he co-founded a social business, Reporters of Hope (Reporters d’Espoirs), and encouraged a large group of media CEOs (TV, Radio, Press and Internet…) to focus on solution-based information. The first event united important figures of the press at the headquarters of UNESCO with more than 1200 opinion leaders and more than 350 journalists and editors.
In 2007, Reporters of Hope (Reporters d’Espoirs) becomes the first and the only press agency specialized in the treatment of initiatives and solutions, filling the void left by the big press agencies, like AFP and Reuters. This Press Agency provides most of the large media with content.
It is a social business based on Professor Muhammad Yunus’s definition (Nobel Peace Prize Winner): the investors recover their investment but do not receive dividends and cannot sell their shares for profit. The benefits of Reporters of Hope (Reporters d’Espoirs) are invested back into the company’s development. This reinvestment allows social businesses to prosper without financial pressure from shareholders.
Christian de Boisredon, passed on the presidency to Pierre Nougué and the managing rôle to a CEO in 2007 in order to focus on his other projects.

Famous quotes containing the words reporters and/or hope:
“Now he is a statesman, when what he really wants is to be what most reporters are, adult delinquents.”
—Peggy Noonan (b. 1950)
““So I wasn’t dreaming, after all,” she said to herself, “unless—unless we’re all part of the same dream. Only I do hope it’s my dream, and not the Red King’s! I don’t like belonging to another person’s dream,” she went on in a rather complaining tone: “I’ve a great mind to go and wake him, and see what happens!””
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
