Jean-Marc Sylvestre (French: [ʒˈɑ̃-mˈaʁk silvˈɛstʁ]; 29 October 1946 – 21 July 2026) was a French journalist.[1]
Life and career
Born in Alençon on 29 October 1946, Sylvestre earned a doctorate from Paris Dauphine University and served as an assistant professor at the University of Caen Normandy before joining TF1 in 1997.[2] From 1997 to 2001, he co-hosted the show Les Rendez-vous de l'entreprise alongside Nicolas Beytout.[3] After Beytout's departure, he was the sole host of Les Coulisses de l'économie,[4] which aired from 2001 to 2008.[5] He was also an economic commentator for France Inter, which he took to the Labour Court for a dispute over his contract.[6] The two parties reached an undisclosed settlement out of court.[7]
In 2010, Sylvestre left TF1 and joined i>Télé.[8] He became the host of the Sunday show Les Clés de l'éco, an economics program produced in partnership with Les Echos.[9] In December 2017, he joined RT France[10] after having been described as "ultra-liberal" by Le Canard enchaîné.[11] The liberal label was criticized by far-right politician Jean-Gilles Malliarakis,[12] though he refuted his stances in his book Une petite douleur à l’épaule gauche, where he commended the French healthcare system.[13] He was also close to the political party Union for a Popular Movement.[14]
Sylvestre died on 21 July 2026, at the age of 79.[15]
