Luc Hermann started his career as a journalist and associate producer in the United States, where he worked at CNN International<\/strong> for 2 years. Then he worked for 18 years at French network Canal + as international reporter and film director.<\/p>\n

From 1999 to 2006, he co-directed with Paul Moreira<\/a> the investigative programme \u201c90 minutes<\/strong>\u201d.\u00a0 A key programme that impulsed the emergence of a new investigative journalism in France. At this time, Luc Hermann investigated large companies on very sensitive subjects such as the controversial Total\u2019s gas pipeline in Burma or Pfizer\u2019s marketing of a an antidepressant drug for kids. He also directed several documentaries decoding spin doctors\u2019 strategies during the wars in Kosovo and in Iraq.<\/p>\n

Together with Paul Moreira, he is since 2004 at the head of a French freedom of information act (FOIA) campaign, aimed at lobbying French politicians. The \u201cLibert\u00e9 d\u2019Informer\u201d campaign has organised numerous debates at universities and at the French Natioanl Assembly, and received the support of hundreds of French journalists, elected officials, lawyers. To date, more than 6,000 signatures have been submitted to the campaign\u2019s website,\u00a0www.liberte-dinformer.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In September 2009, Luc Hermann joined his former Canal + colleague Paul Moreira<\/a> to develop Premieres Lignes agency. His arrival gives it a great boost. Putting together a team of talented independent film makers and investigative reporters, he produced over 50 audacious and multi-awarded documentaries for all major French networks: Arte, Canal+, France 2, France 3, France 5, and France 4.<\/p>\n

Luc Hermann pioneered the production of creative and innovative formats with the help of talented journalists, writers, IT specialists and graphic designers. Linking TV-aired documentaries to interactive web developments offers a much enriched viewer\u2019s experience. Lately Luc Hermann directed a 2-episode documentary on soft power games and spin doctors\u2019 strategies \u201cJeu d\u2019influences<\/strong>\u201d<\/em>. The TV broadcast was associated with an online game where the viewer could put himself in a spin doctor\u2019s shoes and experiment the perception management of crises. The series received multiple awards and distinctions. He also published an eponymous book.<\/p>\n

Luc Hermann is often invited on French radio France Inter as a columnist sharing his analyses and decoding of political or corporate spin. He\u2019s also an advisor\u00a0at the London\u00a0Center for Investigative Journalism<\/a>\u00a0and a regular speaker at Lille School of Journalism (ESJ), at the London City University investigative journalism summer school and at the African Journalism Investigative Conference<\/a>\u00a0in Johannesburg.<\/p>\n<\/div>
