The journalist Claude Sempère, a reporter for France 2 and winner of the Albert London Prize, died at the age of 55, announced the management of France Télévisions.

In 1997, he won the Albert Londres Prize, the most prestigious award for French journalism, for inquiries on Corsica for the "Envoyé spécial" program.

"He was a rare feather, precise, empathic, always pushed us towards the exigency and the rigor", commented Laurent Delahousse, presenter of the newspapers of the weekend on France 2, whereas many tributes were posted Saturday on the networks social.
