Origins and education

The son of Anne and Claude Bronner, both doctors, Luc Bronner was born on 14 May 1974 in Gap, located in the Hautes-Alpes. [3] He studied at the Dominique-Villars High School in Gap, then attended the Institute of Political Studies in Grenoble and the Higher School of Journalism in Lille.

Career

He first worked as a freelance journalist for Nord Éclair, La Voix du Nord, and La Dépêche du Midi. He then joined Le Monde de l'éducation from 1999 to 2001, and worked as a journalist in Le Monde's "Education" section from 2001 to 2005. Since 2005, he has been a reporter for the "French Society" department.

Following the violent student protests on 8 March 2005, and the subsequent media coverage, Luc Bronner published an article on 15 March 2005, titled "Student Protests: The Specter of Anti-White Violence." This article, which quoted young people from urban areas claiming to have participated in the violence, sparked a media and political controversy over the characterization of the violence as "anti-white." On 25 March 2005 figures such as Ghaleb Bencheikh, Alain Finkielkraut, Bernard Kouchner and Jacques Julliard launched a "Call Against Anti-White Violence," supported by the leftist Zionist movement Hashomer Hatzaïr and the Jewish community radio Radio Shalom. [4]

In 2007, Luc Bronner received the Albert Londres Prize for written press.[ citation needed ]

On 30 June 2015 he was promoted to editorial director of Le Monde.

In early October 2020, he announced his desire to return to writing and reporting: "After ten years in leadership, I’m eager to experience the stress of a reporter heading into the unknown, the meetings with non-journalist sources, the sleepless nights filled with coffee and writing, and the unique excitement of investigation and exclusive news." [5]

He was replaced as the editorial director of Le Monde by Caroline Monnot. [6]

In November 2020 he recounted the story of a village in the Hautes-Alpes that was sold to the state by its residents to escape poverty. [7]
