History

Hala Léa Salamé, known as Léa Salamé (born 27 October 1979), is a Lebanese-born French journalist. Hala Léa Salamé is the daughter of Ghassan Salamé, former Lebanese Minister of Culture and former special advisor to UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan; her mother, Mary Boghossian, of Armenian descent, is the sister of diamond dealers Jean and Albert Boghossian. She escaped war in Lebanon with her family, settled in Paris at age 5 and obtained French nationality at age 11. Léa Salamé studied law at Panthéon-Assas University and Sciences Po. She spent a year at New York University, where she was injured in the September 11 attacks. Salamé began her career as an intern on La Chaîne parlementaire with Jean-Pierre Elkabbach. In September 2006, she started working for newly created French international news TV channel France 24. Salamé joined i>Télé in late 2010 and hosted a political show in the context of the 2012 French presidential election. Starting in September 2011, she hosted the evening news with Marc Fauvelle and in September 2012, a political debate programme. The next year, she hosted Ça se dispute with Éric Zemmour and Nicolas Domenach as commentators. In August 2014, Salamé succeeded Natacha Polony in the duo of commentators which she formed with Aymeric Caron, then with Yann Moix, in Laurent Ruquier's show, On n'est pas couché, aired on France 2. In May 2016, she announced that she would leave to host a political show with David Pujadas starting in September 2016, in the context of the 2017 French presidential election. Since August 2014, Salamé has hosted the 7:50 a.m. interview in France Inter's morning show. Since December 2015, she has also conducted high-profile interviews in the French edition of GQ. On 14 April 2016, as she interviewed President François Hollande with David Pujadas in the programme Dialogues citoyens on France 2, Léa Salamé replied to President Hollande, who was making a comment on refugees, "Are you joking?", which triggered many reactions on social media. With Les Arènes, Salamé published her first book, "Strong Women", a series of 12 intimate interviews around female power, originally conducted as a podcast in the summer of 2019, in which she revealed her "pantheon of femininity". In the summer of 2019, she hosted a podcast called "Powerful Women" at France Inter, revolving around female individuality in relation to power and femininity, as seen in the fields of publishing, literature, film, business, and sports. In the book, Salamé revealed her role models: Leïla Slimani, Chloé Bertolus, Christiane Taubira, Laure Adler, Élisabeth Badinter, Béatrice Dalle, Nathalie Kosciusko-Morizet, Bettina Rheims, Sophie De Closets, Amélie Mauresmo, Anne Méaux and the comediennes of Delphine Horvilleur.
