Pascal Doucet-Bon
Pascal Doucet-Bon has been Deputy Director of news at France Télévisions in charge of ethics, transparency and editorial strategy since 2018, and he is a journalist for 30 years, successively for photo agencies, a local newspaper, several radio stations and France Television as a reporter, crime correspondent, foreign affairs correspondent, main news bulletin editor in chief and special editions editor in chief.

He is also convinced that public service media has a special role to play in the war against disinformation, as a common treasure at the service of democracy.
