A prominent figure in the world of journalism has passed away... Jean-Louis Servan-Schreiber, a renowned journalist and essayist, died on Saturday, November 28, 2020, at the age of 83. The news was confirmed by our colleagues at Paris Match, which reports that he succumbed to COVID-19.
A journalist who undeniably left a lasting mark on the media landscape of the second half of the 20th century, notably through the creation of L'Expansion in 1967 — which he led for three decades — as well as his leadership of Psychologies magazine in the 1990s, transforming it into a major success, with more than 350,000 copies sold with each issue.
Hailing from a family rooted in journalism and politics, the man began his career at Les Échos in 1960. Four years later, he joined L'Express, then under the leadership of his brother, Jean-Jacques Servan-Schreiber. A prolific career followed, leading him beyond magazines to collaborations with various radio and TV outlets such as Europe 1, France Inter, LCI, and TF1. Jean-Louis Servan-Schreiber is also the author of several books exploring economic themes, including Humane Business, The Art of Time, The Power to Inform, and Living Contentedly.
