Adele Van Reeth departs France Inter leadership as Celine Pigalle takes over

Adèle Van Reeth is stepping down as director of France Inter, the nation's leading radio station, with Celine Pigalle set to replace her. This leadership change occurs amidst broader turmoil in public broadcasting, including a parliamentary inquiry into funding and neutrality, following a controversy involving journalists and political figures. Van Reeth, who led France Inter since 2022, will return to broadcasting, while the station faces internal dissent and a recent dip in listenership.
