Last August, the news site Les Jours.fr announced the dismissal of Bruno Jeudy from Paris Match. The magazine’s political and economics editor was fired amid editorial disagreement with the magazine’s management. “Since the presidential election the towel has been burning between the boss of politics and the management of the newspaper belonging to the Lagardère group but taken over by the Bolloré group since October 2021 and the appointment of Patrick Mahé at the head of the newspaper to replace Hervé Gattegno.“, specify our colleagues from Figaro. The political journalist, also present on BFM TV, had relayed the position of the editorial staff of the newspaper about the coverage devoted to the ultra-conservative cardinal Robert Sarah. The Society of Journalists of Paris Match thus indicated that the decision to put it on the cover of Paris Match “does not correspond to the editorial line of the newspaper and seems to us, at the beginning of the summer, to be a perilous choice likely to confuse our readers and divert them from our magazine”.
Yesterday, Thursday September 8, 2022, the same news site Les Jours.fr announced that Bruno Jeudy would be replaced by Laurence Ferrari, journalist on CNews and Europe 1. Paris Match, the journalist will be present alongside Patrick Mahé and Caroline Mangez, the general manager and the editorial director. To his entourage and in the press, the former star of the 20 hours of TF1 has never hidden his desire to occupy this kind of function.
An appointment which in any case reacts a lot on the Web, the presenter having little experience in the written press according to some. “I remember when the world was waiting for his arrival on the 8 p.m. newscast. She was blonde, she was beautiful, she was a woman. 20 years later, we discover that it’s actually a Lepen.”, “She doesn’t have a lot of skills”, “Given the journalism of today, Passing the dish on TV should not be too different to pass the dish in the written press.“, can we read on Twitter.
