Edwy Plenel clarifies the meaning of the title of a Mediapart article on Nagui

The title of a recent survey made the small world of audiovisual production react on television. "Nagui, the man who was worth 100 million" announces Mediapart. The article details the contract between the host-producer and France Télévisions for the period from 2017 to 2020, and the various shows and programs that Air Productions, a Nagui company, provides to France 2.

Edwy Plenel, president and founder of Mediapart, promoted the article on Twitter: "How far is public television ready to go to pay its stars?" According to information from Mediapart, the contract which ends in Nagui provided for 2017 to 2020 a remuneration of 100 million euros! "

Immediately readers and observers became strangled with indignation. Not on the amount advanced but on the formulation which suggests that Nagui himself received 100 million euros.

Nagui does not touch 100 million euros‼ ️
➡️ It is a contract for all the productions of Air Productions, the company of @Nagui. Employees, wages and tax charges to pay, 2 daily issues, 1 monthly issue + other occasional ... https://t.co/BL0GSDURva

Most tweetos only read headlines, not articles. Titraille here gives the impression that the 100 million correspond to Nagui's remuneration, which is of course not the case. A little rigor would not harm Mediapart, it is the basis of journalism. https://t.co/KydgndPPHm

Confusing turnover and remuneration of @Nagui is worrying for the business manager that you are or dishonest for the honest journalist that you claim to be! https://t.co/XaTBwVbyZa

Edwy Plenel therefore clarified his thought, in a second, more explicit tweet: “Clarification: as clearly indicated in the article, this is the“ remuneration ”of Air Productions, the Nagui company, and not the salary from the host. "

Clarification: as clearly indicated in the article by @Mediapart, this is the "remuneration" of Air Productions, the Nagui company, and not the salary of the host. https://t.co/b1iRunoHc1

A similar debate had taken place when Cyril Hanouna, via his production company, had signed a 250 million euro contract with Canal + to provide programs over a period of five years.

The host had clung with Juan Branco on this subject, the latter accusing Cyril Hanouna of pocketing 250 million.
