A pure product of the public audiovisual sector, the journalist has a pedigree that sticks well to the DNA of the TF1 newscast.
She started her career at France 3 Midi-Pyrénées, where she presented JT in the early 2000s. Spotted by Paul Nahon, the former director of information for the public service channel, she then took down the presentation of the 19/20 national.
Between 2014 and 2016, she was a joker at the 13 Hours and 20 Hours in France 2. At the start of the 2016 school year, she became a starter at the presentation of the 13 Hours of La Deux, replacing Elise Lucet.
The position she still holds today, in addition to the presentation of "Prodiges", the telecrochet of France Télévisions around young talents in the world of classical music.
Clearly, the journalist is from the provinces, she comes from the field, has climbed the ranks step by step and also has solid experience in presenting a television newscast.
Discreet, it appears, moreover, far from the All-Paris which sings and sparkles.
Like "JPP" which describes itself like its JT, "
outside the Parisian microcosm
”, he indicates in an interview with
Le Figaro
, specifying:“
You will rarely see me in social evenings
”.
These are all assets which, on paper, can contribute to the success of the transplant.
A surprise nomination
No one saw this appointment coming anyway.
In recent days, the rumors rather gave the journalist Dominique Lagrou-Sempère, loyal accomplice of Jean-Pierre Pernaut, as well as Pascale de la Tour du Pin, who hosts the LCI morning, favorites for the post.
Without forgetting Julien Arnaud, incarnation of the 20 Hours of TF1 during the holidays, who had applied.
Until December 18, Jean-Pierre Pernaut will continue to be in charge of the front page television news at lunchtime.
At 70, 33 of whom spent playing the 13 Hours of TF1, the favorite TV presenter of the French has decided to change his pace.
However, he did not leave the Bouygues subsidiary where he had many projects in progress.
And, at the request of Thierry Thuillier, the deputy director of information for the TF1 group, the journalist will also support the transition.
“
I would be happy to do so, regardless of the candidate chosen by management.
I want a real handover.
Things can be done intelligently,
”assured the star presenter at
Le Figaro
