She hosted the nightly television news show 19/20 on France 3 until September 2005. In addition, she co-hosted the third edition of Les Victoires du Jazz with Pierre Lescure, as well as French, à coeur et à cris in May 2006. She was one of the few “well-known” persons working at France 3 to join the protest against the ban on advertising on France Télévisions in late 2008.
She has also been the host of a monthly magazine called Parlez-moi d’ailleurs, which airs on the legislative channel since 2006. When she left France 3 in July 2009, she joined the news channel i>Télé to broadcast a daily program from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m., as well as a political interview program on Sundays. Laurent Bignolas took over as her replacement on 19/20.
Audrey Pulvar Career
During her training at ESJ, she then worked as an intern for Antilles Television. After that, she was hired as a photojournalist and became the evening news anchorwoman in 1995. In the end, she was promoted to deputy editor-in-chief of the channel in 1999 while still working as an anchor. She remained there until April 2002, when she was hired as a freelance journalist by Jean-Claude Dassier for the satellite continuous news channel LCI. She began her employment with TV5 simultaneously in December.
She was hired as a regional television news presenter at France 3 Marseille in November 2003. She hosted Soir 3 at Louis Lafarge’s side from September 2004, following a few replacements on national television. She refused to see it as a symbol and to take the lead, even though she was the first black woman to host a television news program on a terrestrial French channel.
According to the radio Deputy Director, Philippe Val, Pulvar took over the time slot from 6 to 7 a.m. after Nicolas Demorand left the France Inter early morning radio show and made her program a “prominent place for international news.” She continued to work with i>Télé at the same time, but she decided to cut her show down to one hour, from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m., in response to her partner Arnaud Montebourg officially claiming to be a Socialist Party candidate for the 2012 presidential election. Later, in November 2010, the managers of i>Télé made the decision to remove her from the show. By returning to the airwaves a few weeks later, she finally put an end to the controversy surrounding that firing. At 7:40 p.m., she was in charge of a non-political interview that lasted ten minutes but was canceled at the end of the year.
She gave up her 7:50 a.m. interview in January 2011 but continued to lead the 6/7 a.m. slot and has a new column at 8:37. In late January 2011, Pulvar got back to i>Télé to introduce a discussion upon social issues with no political visitor, known as Arrêt sur l’info. July 2011, she left the channel.
Pulvar made an appearance on the popular television host Laurent Ruquier’s Saturday night talk show On n’est pas couché on France 2 with Natacha Polony in September 2011. Pulvar now appears on D8’s daily talk show Le Grand 8 after being fired from the Ruquier’s talk show. Pulvar, who had been involved in Parisian local politics for a number of years, was appointed Deputy Mayor of Paris on July 3, 2020, with responsibility for sustainable food, agriculture, and supply chains.
