He was the founder of the media “L’Événement du Jeudi” and “Marianne.”
A figure in journalism. As his entourage announced to AFP confirming information from Le Point this Thursday, January 23, the journalist and essayist Jean-François Kahn died at the age of 86. He was the founder of “L’Événement du Jeudi” in 1984 then of “Marianne” in 1997. He was director of the latter media until 2007.
As Le Point, for whom he occasionally wrote articles, indicates, Jean-François Kahn was “a little Marxist, a little Christian, a little Jewish, a little Parisian, a little Burgundian, a little European, a little left-wing, a little liberal, ultimately from the center, where he was never more himself.”
-He had two brothers, the chemist Olivier Kahn, who died in 1999, as well as the geneticist and president of the National Cancer League, Axel Kahn, who died in 2021.
