In 2022, he became the managing director of the editorial board of Le Journal du Dimanche (JDD), before becoming managing director of the editorial board of Paris Match in 2023.

Journalism
Jérôme Béglé is a graduate of the French Press Institute.[2]
During the 1990s, he was a presenter on Radio Notre Dame and a weekly columnist for Le Figaro littéraire.[3][2]
In 1996, as part of his military service, he traveled to Sarajevo to be a presenter on Azur FM, a radio station aimed at boosting the morale of French soldiers in the United Nations Protection Force. He joined Paris Match the same year, for whom he worked for about a decade. During this time, he was known for his extensive network and Parisian evening gatherings.[3]
He later became deputy editor-in-chief of Le Figaro Magazine from 2009 to 2010, and then at Le Point from 2014 to 2022.[4][5]
In 2016, his potential appointment as the head of Le Journal du Dimanche sparked opposition among the journalists at the weekly magazine. Tensions within the JDD surfaced amidst a decline in circulation and restructurings at the Lagardère Group, owner of the publication.[6] Despite concerns within the editorial staff,[7][8][3] he eventually became the managing director of the newspaper in 2022.[9]
From 2017 to 2024, he was a regular participant on Pascal Praud's show L'Heure des pros on CNews.[7]
In 2023, he was appointed managing director of the editorial board at Paris Match,[10][11][12] and in 2024, he became the editor-in-chief of the magazine following its acquisition by the LVMH group.[13]
