Florence de Changy (born in 1966) is a French journalist and author. Based in the Asia-Pacific region since the early 1990s, she is a correspondent for Le Monde , Radio France, and RFI. She is particularly known for her in-depth investigations, notably into the disappearance of Flight MH370.
Florence de Changy began her journalistic career in 1991 in the Asia-Pacific region. She has been a correspondent in Sydney, Auckland, Kuala Lumpur, Taipei, and is currently based in Hong Kong. [1]
Since 1994, she has worked as a correspondent for Le Monde and also collaborates with Radio France and RFI. She mainly covers political, economic, and social news from the Asia-Pacific region, including China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia. [2]
Since 2017, she has been president of the "Foreign Correspondents’ Club Hong Kong", which brings together all foreign press correspondents in Hong Kong. [3]
In March 2014, following the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, Florence de Changy was sent to Kuala Lumpur to report on the events. She conducted an independent investigation that led her to challenge the official conclusions. [4]
According to her research, the aircraft was carrying sensitive cargo and may have been deliberately intercepted under unclear circumstances. She puts forward a hypothesis of military intervention involving the United States Air Force. [5]
Her findings were published in two books in 2021: La Disparition (in French) and The Disappearing Act (in English). [6] The English version was published by HarperCollins. [7]
In an op-ed published by Le Monde in 2021, she elaborated on her reasoning and doubts regarding the official versions of the accident. [8]
