Agnès Vahramian Takes the Helm at Franceinfo Radio
Agnès Vahramian, a seasoned journalist with over 30 years of experience, has been appointed as the new director of Franceinfo radio, effective September 16. Known for her extensive field reporting and management skills, Vahramian is stepping in to replace Jean-Philippe Baille, who is moving to RMC/BFM. Vahramian expressed her excitement on social media, stating she is 'very honored' to join the team at Franceinfo.
Céline Pigalle's Expanded Role at Radio France
In a complementary appointment, Céline Pigalle, the current director of France Bleu, will also take on the role of deputy editorial director for information at Radio France. This dual role is aimed at enhancing cooperation across the network and improving audience engagement. Pigalle previously served as the editorial director of BFMTV and has a rich background in radio journalism, making her a valuable asset in this new capacity.
A New Era for Radio France's Leadership
These appointments come alongside the recent hiring of Vincent Meslet as the editorial director of Radio France. Meslet, who has a strong background in public service broadcasting, is tasked with leading the editorial team and ensuring the continuity of quality journalism. With Vahramian, Pigalle, and Meslet at the helm, Radio France is poised for a transformative period focused on enhancing its public service mission and audience connection.
- The changes in leadership at Radio France reflect a strategic shift to bolster the station's relevance and reach. Vahramian's experience as a war correspondent and her previous roles in editorial management position her uniquely to guide Franceinfo through the evolving media landscape. Pigalle's background will also contribute to a more localized approach to news, aligning with the public's demand for accessible and relatable content. Together, these leaders aim to strengthen the ties between local and national news, ensuring a cohesive narrative across platforms.
