Aymeric Caron (born 4 December 1971), is a French radio and television journalist.
Early life and education
Aymeric Caron was born in Boulogne-sur-Mer in the department of Pas-de-Calais,[1] the son of a teacher and primary school director and a nurse mother.[2] He first thought about becoming a cartoonist, but after having seen a war reporter, he found his vocation of journalist.[3] He studied a Classe préparatoire lettres et sciences sociales (literature and social science) at the Lycée Faidherbe of Lille and then graduated at the École Supérieure de Journalisme of Lille in May 1995. He then left France to work in Shanghai in a studio of radiophonic production of the French consulate. He came back in France working for the channels TF1, LCI and France 3.
Television career
In 1998, he joined Canal+ working as a journalist. He is in charge by the redaction of the channel, to cover different conflicts like those from Kosovo, Afghanistan, Côte d'Ivoire, Congo and Iraq. With several journalists, he joined the team of the news information during the fusion of the redaction from the channels Canal+ and I-Télé in June 2001. He also replaced some presenters during their vacation period.
From March 2006 to June 2008, Aymeric Caron hosts from Friday to Sunday the morning news of the weekend on I-Télé. He presents at the same time i>Matin infos, a morning program common to Canal+ and I-Télé, during summer 2006 and 2007. Matin Week-end is a news segment alternating reportages, chronicals and interviews. In October 2007, one of his interviews strongly opposed him to Nadine Morano, who was the official spokesperson of the French Union for a Popular Movement, close of president Nicolas Sarkozy. He then left the channel at the end of the season in 2008.
In September 2012, he joined the program On n'est pas couché presented by Laurent Ruquier broadcast every Saturday at the second part of the evening on France 2. He replaces Audrey Pulvar as a columnist with Natacha Polony. He often has violent confrontations with his guests including Tristane Banon and Véronique Genest. In May 2014, during a confrontation with Alexandre Arcady, cut at the montage by the production of the program, about his last film 24 Days, there were multiple critics and Aymeric Caron was even accused of antisemitism.
In September 2014, after a confrontation with Bernard-Henri Lévy about the 2014 Israel-Gaza conflict on the same program, Aymeric Caron would have made the object of threats that were serious enough so that the Paris Police Prefecture reinforce the patrol around his home. In September 2015, he is replaced by Yann Moix who is now a polemist on the program.
Radio career
During summer 2009, he presents the morning section of Europe 1 from Monday to Friday, replacing Marc-Olivier Fogiel. In September 2009, the direction of the station leads him the presentation of the morning section on weekends. He was then replaced on September 2010 for the morning section to present on Sunday evening. He was also the substitute presenter of Jean-Marc Morandini on Le Grand Direct and Le Grand Direct des Médias from Monday to Friday. In February 2001, she presented again the morning section on weekends, and left the station in July 2011.
Engagement for animals
A fervent defender of animal rights,[4] Aymeric Caron is a vegetarian since the 1990s.[5][6] In 2013, he published a book about this engagement titled No steak, with sales of more than 30,000 copies. In late 2014, he announced on becoming a vegan.
In July 2015, he participated at Fort Boyard on France 2 with Damien Thévenot, Gérard Vivès, Carinne Teyssandier, Laurent Maistret et Hélène Gateau. They earned 12,690 euros for the association L214.
He participates at press conferences about animal cause with Peter Singer, Mathieu Ricard and Franz-Olivier Giesbert. During a press conference at the National Assembly in October 2015, he supported the proposition for a law of deputy Yves Jégo from the Union of Democrats and Independants, among others, Cécile Duflot and Chantal Jouanno, also favorable for a vegetarian alternative in school canteens.
