Early life

Geoffroy Lejeune was born on 3 September 1988.[1] He graduated from the École supérieure de journalisme de Paris in 2011.[2]

Career

Lejeune began his career in journalism for Le Point.[3] He became the political editor of Valeurs actuelles in 2015 and its editor-in-chief in 2016.[3] He became the youngest editor-in-chief in France.[2] As editor, he covered the whole spectrum of right-wing politics, from the far right to the centre right.[2] He also hired several young journalists, with a focus on investigative journalism.[3] In April 2017, he derided Le Monde, France's left-wing newspaper of record, for launching Decodex, a fact-checking app, and he suggested Valeurs actuelles should start fact-checking Le Monde.[4]

Lejeune is the author of a political novel in which conservative essayist Éric Zemmour is elected as the President of France.[5][6]
