Valentine Oberti, born on March 12, 1982, is a French journalist. She worked in the editorial team of Mediapart from 2011 to 2014 and was a columnist for Quotidien from 2016 to 2019 [1] before rejoining the Mediapart editorial team in 2020, [2] [3] where she became co-editorial director in 2023. She also produces documentaries.
The only child of a father who is an executive in a small company and a mother who is an executive secretary, Valentine Oberti grew up in Rosselange, in Moselle. [4] She first obtained a bachelor's degree in history in Nancy and then continued her studies at the Panthéon-Assas University in Paris, taking political science courses for a year. She then decided to take the entrance exams for specialized schools and was accepted into the École supérieure de journalisme de Lille. [4]
Following this training, she spent a year in Morocco, in Tangier, where she worked for a radio station. Upon returning to France, she became a freelancer for RFI. [4] She has also worked for Radio France, France 24, Cash Investigation, [5] Le Supplément, and Mediapart. [2] She eventually joined the team of Quotidien hosted by Yann Barthès at the launch of the show on September 12, 2016. On January 26, 2017, Valentine Oberti and Hugo Clément shared the TMC airwaves to present Quotidien, as Yann Barthès (the presenter) was unwell. [6] On April 27, 2018, she presented the show alone. [7]
On February 9, 2017, in the context of the Fillon affair scandal, Quotidien launched the #parlementtransparent campaign to demand transparency in parliamentarians' accounts, which was taken up by thousands of internet users. Following this, the website parlementtransparent was created independently of the show, initiated by citizen oversight. Valentine Oberti, who led this operation for the show, wrote to the 925 French parliamentarians, many of whom have not yet responded (an online map is available on the Quotidien website). This operation also led to the Bruno Le Roux affair, where Quotidien [8] revealed that the Minister of the Interior had employed his two daughters as parliamentary assistants while they were high school and university students, often absent from their assigned work. Bruno Le Roux resigned the following day. [9]
In 2019, succumbing to pressure from the French government, Quotidien censored an investigation by Valentine Oberti that revealed the executive was aware that the weapons sold to Saudi Arabia were being used against civilians in Yemen. She was subsequently questioned by the DGSI. [10] This information was disclosed in 2022 by journalist Jean-Baptiste Rivoire.
In January 2020, she left Quotidien to rejoin the Mediapart editorial team and focus on the video department. There, she hosts the show À l'air libre and continues to publish investigations. [11]
In 2022, together with Luc Hermann, she produced the documentary Media Crash, co-produced by Mediapart and Premières Lignes, about media concentration, which was shown in theaters. [12] [13]
In October 2023, she became co-editorial director of Mediapart, alongside Lénaïg Bredoux, following Carine Fouteau and Stéphane Alliès. [14]
