Career

Harry Roselmack graduated with degrees in History (DEUG) and Journalism (DUT).

He began to work for a local radio station, during this period. Then, he wrote some sports articles for a regional news paper La Nouvelle République du Centre-Ouest. Roselmack worked with Radio France in 2000 (France Bleu, France Info) before joining Canal+.

In 2006, he was appointed official summer replacement for Patrick Poivre d'Arvor, the evening news anchorman, by TF1. This decision triggered a number of moves between the major networks. Thomas Hugues, who had held this position for many years, left the channel, followed by his wife Laurence Ferrari, who was the official summer replacement of Claire Chazal. Mélissa Theuriau was offered Ferrari's job which she turned down, leaving for M6. Eventually, TF1 hired Anne-Sophie Lapix to succeed Ferrari. She later hosted Sept à huit together with Roselmack, a show which was formerly hosted by Hugues and Ferrari.

Harry Roselmack debuted on TF1 on 17 July 2006, becoming the channel's first black evening news anchorman, [2] and garnering as much as 44.8% of the audience (over 8 million viewers).

In 2014, he directed his first feature film Fractures, which won a special mention at the 2017 Chelsea Film Festival. [3]

West Caribbean Airways Flight 708 was a charter flight that crashed in northwest Venezuela in the early hours of Tuesday, 16 August 2005, killing all 160 passengers and crew on board. The plane, a McDonnell Douglas MD-82, registration HK-4374X, was en route from Tocumen International Airport (PTY) in Panama City, Panama, to Martinique Aimé Césaire International Airport (FDF) in Fort-de-France, Martinique, France. While flying at 33,000 ft (10,000 m), the aircraft's speed gradually decreased until it entered an aerodynamic stall. The crew, probably under the mistaken belief that the aircraft had suffered a double engine flameout, did not take the necessary actions to recover from the stall. The confusion and lack of action resulted in the crash.
