Biography

Nathalie Levy (born on 22 November 1976) is a French journalist who has mainly worked in television, as news presenter on BFM TV, and then as host of a daily live news program on France 5. She presented Votre grand journal du soir on the radio station Europe 1 during the 2019–2020 season.

She has devoted herself to other projects from July 2020, including the writing of her first book Courage au coeur et sac au dos and its audio and audiovisual adaptations. This book describes the complicit relationship she has with her grandmother but also the difficult accompaniment and constraints involved in being a family caregiver.

Nathalie Levy was born on 22 November 1976. While she was studying law at the Université Panthéon-Assas, she met a student who was starting a free bi-monthly magazine and to whom she offered her services. She thus found her vocation as a journalist despite the wish of her relatives to see her embrace a career in real estate and continue the family business.

She then joined the French Press Institute and did a series of internships. She began with a few papers in print media and then obtained a first internship followed by freelance work at Canal+. She then joined Radio J, which gave her some very challenging experiences and "enriching humanly and professionally". She covered the Second Intifada in the Middle East, presented her first newscasts and two programs including one in the European Parliament entitled Listening to Europe. She later joined the team of the French radio station in Jerusalem, Kol Israel, through a great friend in internship at the Israeli office of France Televisions.

Despite the danger of the events and the terrain, she collected testimonies and reactions of the population as an independent reporter. It is from this region that she provided her first reports to BFM Radio. Upon her return to France, she was hired there.

In 2001, when she arrived at the editorial office of BFM Radio, she alternated between reporting, international press review, and news presentation.

In 2003, the identity of the radio evolved. While remaining faithful to the information, she took advantage of it to host two other programs on the themes of leisure and travel.

At the creation of BFM TV at the end of 2005, the channel asked Levy to go back into the field. She then had the opportunity to replace Ruth Elkrief to present the news. In 2007, in the middle of the election campaign, she took the controls of the 19. She officially became presenter of Info 360 every night live from 21 to midnight on the occasion of the return to school and the renewal of the grid.

In July 2009, Levy left BFM TV to join France 5.

From September 2009, she participated in the daily show C à vous by Alessandra Sublet between 19 and 20 on France 5 before leaving the channel the following summer to return to BFM TV.

From August 2010, Levy anchored the 9 to 10pm and 11pm to midnight news blocks with Info 360. In the fall of 2011, she presented it with Jean-Baptiste Boursier from 9pm to midnight. She went on maternity leave in October 2012, when she was replaced by Lucie Nuttin, the titular presenter of Week-end 360. ...
