Background
François Lenglet was born on November 10, 1961 outside Paris. His mother was a French and Latin teacher and his father ran a company in the chemical industry.
Education
He obtained a master's degree in modern literature at the University of Paris-Sorbonne[3] and he started in 1983 as a journalist at the press agency A Jour.[4]
Career
From 1985 to 1986, he was editor-in-chief of Minitel magazine[4]. From 1986 to 19894, he was professor of French literature in Shanghai (China) and correspondent in Asia for the French press[3], in particular L'express. Back in Paris, he worked at the magazine Science et Vie Économie from 1989 to 1991. In 1991, he joined the economic magazine Expansion. He became head of the Economics department in 1994, editor-in-chief in 1997 then deputy director in 1998.[3] From 2000 to 2008, he was editorial director of Enjeux-Les Échos, a monthly supplement to the economic daily Les Échos.[3] In 2008, he joined the business daily La Tribune, becoming editor-in-chief and then editorial director.[3]
From the beginning of the 2011 academic year, he became editorial director of BFM Business and economic columnist on the continuous news channel BFM TV6 as well as on radio RMC2 (the three channels belonging to the same group, NextRadioTV).
He was active interviewing presidential candidates for the election of 2012.[5] In May 2012, he became an occasional columnist in the weekly newspaper Le Point.
In June 2012, he was appointed editor-in-chief of the France department within the editorial staff of France 2. In September 2013, he hosted a daily radio economic column at 8:15 a.m. on RTL.
According to the 2014 Barometer published by Huffington Post, François Lenglet ranked first among the "favorite economic personalities" of the French.[6]
From October 27, 2014 to August 8, 2018, he hosted the magazine L'Angle éco in the second half of the evening on Monday on France 21. Lenglet joined the TF1 group from August 22, 2018. From September 1, 2019, he hosted the new Lenglet Deciphre magazine broadcast every Sunday on LCI.
Style
François Lenglet is sometimes cited as one of the most influential journalists in the French media scene[7][8]. He became known to the general public during the presidential campaign of 2012, by questioning the candidates on their economic program. He regularly relied on the figures of the OECD, his reference organization, and says he practices "a somewhat primitive form of 'data journalism'"[9].
In 2016, François Lenglet published Tant pis ! Nos enfants paieront, ('Too bad! Our children will pay), a book in which he condemns the choice of 35 hourswork week, expresses his doubts about the merits of the eurozone and takes on the baby boom generation, the main responsible for the French crisis according to him.[10]
Criticism
François Lenglet is sometimes criticized for his neoliberal positions on the economy. He was described as a "zealot of a de-socialized economy" by Acrimed. When he received the "Economics Book Prize" for his work entitled Too bad! Our children will pay, Acrimed accused this price of being partly a "medal of liberal pedagogy"[11].
In February 2012, during the presidential campaign, the left-wing newspaper Fakir accused him of having used false figures in front of Jean-Luc Mélenchon during the broadcast[12]. In March 2013, he was again accused of "lying" and "manipulation", by the website of the newspaper Le Monde diplomatique[13].
In October 2013, the media criticism website Acrimed published an article criticizing the unanimity of the French media, especially including François Lenglet, in favor of the relaxation of the law on Sunday work.[14]
In October 2014, L'est-Éclair revealed that François Lenglet was hosting a conference for association The Circle of Services, for a remuneration of € 8,500,[15]. Acrimed pointed out that he did the same on behalf of the Bordeaux ICC in November 2013 and at the Toulouse International Destination Forum in 2014[16].
