Carole Gaessler takes the lead. From the start of the next school year, viewers will have the chance to see the journalist and presenter of the national 19/20 every evening on France 3. Indeed, the latter should, from September, host Aux jeux citoyen!, a daily newspaper centered on the Games 2024 Olympics. In full promotion of this new project, Carole Gaessler granted, this Wednesday, June 7, 2023, an interview with our colleagues from puremédias.com. An opportunity to learn more about the program. A program that she is “impatient” to present.
“It’s been a year since Delphine Ernotte made this daily proposal to me, a year that it’s been thinking in my head. Starting from a blank page, I wondered how to interest viewers, and how to interest me. Because that I can’t make a show otherwise, and if it had been sport and pure competition, I wouldn’t have been interested in. Getting into the minds of champions, organizational challenges, that excites me . So I’m impatient and greedy to be able to push the doors and go behind the scenes,” she said.

“A unifying program, close to people”
However, the journalist will have to take up a major challenge: succeed in imposing herself in the box formerly occupied by Plus belle la vie. A mission she intends to carry out. “I think that a unifying program, close to people, which talks about people, works. Afterwards, I hope that you will also be patient with us and that you will not dismantle us from the first week. ‘there is nothing worse for a daily news,’ she said without hiding her concern. For her, launching a new program is “like opening a restaurant”.
“You say, ‘I’m going to try to cook the best food in the best setting and I hope people will come’. Obviously it depends on the location, the intersection, what people place next to your restaurant etc. But you have to allow time for it to settle in, for the cook and the dining room to find their rhythm, for word of mouth to work… So please, just give us a little time, don’t crush us all immediately if the audience is not there. It is complicated to set up an appointment, when it is important, especially for the public service. The program Citizen games! will she fly? To be continued…
