A news summary too dark to interest the public? This Friday October 13, 2023, like every day of the week at lunchtime, Marie-Sophie Lacarrau
presented his 1 p.m. news on TF1. Like her colleagues, the journalist began her edition by addressing the sad news of the day: the assassination of a teacher at the Gambetta-Carnot high school by an assailant aged only 20.
This assailant was known to the police, as was his family, as journalist Véronique Fèvre recalled on BFMTV. Indeed, he and his siblings had caused concern among the high school teaching team in the past. “As for the family of the attacker, unlike the young people who will be tried for the assassination of Samuel Paty, we have a truly worrying family profile”clarified our colleague.

Marie-Sophie Lacarrau not helped by the news
Unfortunately, upon opening his diary 13 hours with this sad news, Marie-Sophie Lacarrau
failed to attract as many viewers as usual. According to Médiamétrie, in total, “only” 3.98 million people watched his newspaper. The audiovisual media audience measurement organization notes that this figure corresponds to 35.8% of the public aged four and over and 28.7% of women responsible for purchases under 50 (FRDA-50).
One might think that this is an honorable score, but our colleagues believe the opposite. Indeed, for Julian Bugier’s competitor, this result is “well below its worst performance since its return to school on August 21”, as recalled Puremedias
. This poorer performance dates back to September 20, 2023, when the journalist gathered 38% of the public in front of her newspaper. However, the number of viewers for this Friday the 13th nevertheless remains higher than that recorded during its less good performance, when it brought together 3.82 million faithful in front of their screen.
