Harry Roselmack (born 20 March 1973^[1] in Tours) is a French radio and TV journalist of Martiniquan descent.

Career

Harry Roselmack graduated with degrees in History (DEUG) and Journalism (DUT).

He began to work for a local radio station, during this period. Then, he wrote some sports articles for a regional news paper La Nouvelle République du Centre-Ouest. Roselmack worked with Radio France in 2000 (France Bleu, France Info) before joining Canal+.

In 2006, he was appointed official summer replacement for Patrick Poivre d'Arvor, the evening news anchorman, by TF1. This decision triggered a number of moves between the major networks. Thomas Hugues, who had held this position for many years, left the channel, followed by his wife Laurence Ferrari, who was the official summer replacement of Claire Chazal. Mélissa Theuriau was offered Ferrari's job which she turned down, leaving for M6. Eventually, TF1 hired Anne-Sophie Lapix to succeed Ferrari. She later hosted Sept à huit together with Roselmack, a show which was formerly hosted by Hugues and Ferrari.

Harry Roselmack debuted on TF1 on 17 July 2006, becoming the channel's first black evening news anchorman,^[2] and garnering as much as 44.8% of the audience (over 8 million viewers).

In 2014, he directed his first feature film Fractures, which won a special mention at the 2017 Chelsea Film Festival.^[3]
