Among the many workshops and debates of the sixteenth edition of the Assises internationales du journalisme organized in Tours from 28 to 30 March, the one on “How to rediscover a taste for news?
could count on the participation of
Thierry Thuillier
.
In this theme, the director of information of TF1 has notably loaded the work carried out for some time by
Cyril Hanouna
on C8.
"Among the trouble factors in the relationship to the info, there is the emergence of talk shows, and in particular talk shows that claim to be informative
", he declared before clarifying his thoughts.
“Sorry to say, but Hanouna does a lot of harm to the news.
»
The TF1 news boss took care to specify that the program “Quotidien”, broadcast on TMC, and “C à vous”, on France 5, were not affected by this criticism.
"'Daily' makes
quality
'
infotainment
, ' "
he pointed out.
Thierry Thuillier believes that Cyril Hanouna's teams are blurring the boundaries between news and entertainment.
"
When you have politicians from this country who go on a set to be bullied
, [...]
I think it serves the information"
, he added with the desire to make a distinction between the true practice of journalism and what is entertainment.

The showdown between TF1 and Cyril Hanouna is not new.
Since February 2013, the leaders of the channel and the host producer of “Touche pas à mon poste!
” link conflicts and reconciliations.
The most recent concerns the information issued by Cyril Hanouna last November about the “Late Show by Alain Chabat” which he described as an
“industrial accident”
.
TF1 responded by seizing the Arcom and deciding to sue "TPMP".
