It had been six years since Natacha Polony joined the magazine team Marianne as editorial director. But, in a twist, the 49-year-old woman was not reappointed despite the cancellation of the sale of the media. The name of his successor has been revealed and the public knows him well!
After leaving We are not in bed (France 2), a program presented by Laurent Ruquier in which she served as a columnist, Natacha Polony continued her journey in the television industry. For a year (from 2014 to 2015), she was a columnist in The Grand Journal from Canal+. The public was also able to follow it from 2015 to 2017 on Paris Première with Polonium? or on BFMTV with Polonews until 2017. But since then, she has been discreet on television. She preferred to work in the shadows by becoming the editorial director of Mariannefrom 2018. However, there was a twist last May after the announcement of the resale of the magazine.
Natacha Polony leaves the management of Marianne
Czech billionaire Daniel Kretinsky, head of the CMI group, indicated that he had signed an exclusive negotiation agreement with another billionaire, Frenchman Pierre-Edouard Stérin, boss of the Otium group (creator of Smartbox gift boxes and investor in Fort Boyard Aventures). . However, there was a desire to keep Natacha Polony in this position (a desire shared by the wife of Périco Légasse). But the negotiations had ceased and it was finally towards the entrepreneur Jean-Martial Lefranc that CMI turned last November. And finally, this Thursday, December 19, CMI announced that it had gave up selling the weekly. “Taking note of the difficulties in finding an external takeover solution for Marianne, and particularly concerned about guaranteeing the sustainability of the title, Natacha Polony indicated that she would not be part of the future management of the newspaper.“, explains CMI France. The journalist and essayist, who has been in office since 2018, will maintain a weekly editorial.
His replacement is…
To replace her, CMI called on Frédéric Taddei. The latter will take office on March 1. He is particularly known for having presented Tonight (or never!) on France 3 and France 2. And since 2005, Europe 1 listeners have had the pleasure of following it with the broadcasts It happened this week et It happened tomorrow. Il “will bring his originality, his taste for pluralism and his love of debate“, according to Denis Olivennes, chairman of the supervisory board of CMI France.
