Journalist takes over news program hosting

A journalist was promoted to the role of host for the public service news program after Léa Salamé was sidelined due to the candidacy of her partner, Raphaël Glucksmann, in the presidential election.

First solo hosting of major broadcast

For the first time since her arrival at the public service, she led the 8 p.m. broadcast on Monday, October 26, 2026, marking a significant shift in the program's leadership structure.

Broadcast reaches large audience

The broadcast was viewed by 3.9 million viewers, reflecting continued public interest in the news program despite the change in hosting.

Context of political influence

The change in hosting comes amid increased scrutiny of potential conflicts of interest involving media personnel and political candidates, as Glucksmann's candidacy raised questions about impartiality in public service broadcasting.
