Early life

Jean-Louis Servan-Schreiber was born on 31 October 1937, in Boulogne-Billancourt, France. His father, Émile Servan-Schreiber, was a French journalist of Jewish-Prussian descent. His mother was Denise Bresard. The Servan-Schreibers (up to 200 members) have a family reunion every five years.[1]

As a child Servan-Schreiber aspired to become a psychoanalyst but, being born into a family of journalists went into that profession.[2] He graduated from Sciences Po in 1960.[3]

Career

Servan-Schreiber was a journalist.[4][5] He first wrote for Echos, which had been co-founded by his father, followed by L'Express which had been founded by his brother Jean-Jacques Servan-Schreiber.[3][2] Having experience of reading American news magazines from a period spent teaching at Stanford University Servan-Schreiber worked with his brother to transform L'Express into a similar publication, the first of its kind in France.[2]

Servan-Schreiber went on to found his own press company, L'Expansion, in 1967 with Jean Boissonnat. He co-founded the magazine L'Expansion with Boissonnat in 1967 and Lire with Bernard Pivot in 1975.[3][2] Servan-Schreiber would remain a director of L'Expansion for 27 years, and expand it to several foreign editions.[6] He founded Radio Classique in 1982.[3] He was the owner of La Vie Éco, a Moroccan newspaper, from 1994 to 1997, having acquired a special exemption from that nation's foreign ownership rules via Moroccan prime minister Abdellatif Filali.[3][7] Servan-Schreiber took over Psychologies in 1997, and sold it to the Lagardère Group in 2008 having increased its circulation from 75,000 to 350,000 to become the second best-selling women's monthly in France.[2][3] He founded another magazine, Clés, in 2010.[3] At times the L'Expansion group also ran La Vie Financière, La Lettre de L’Expansion and La Tribune.[2]

During the 1970s Servan-Schreiber appeared frequently on the TF1 programme Questionnaire.[2] Servan-Schreiber was the author of several books and around twenty essays.[3][2] He served as the chairman of the French chapter of Human Rights Watch since 2007.[3] Servan-Schreiber was known by the initials JLSS.[6]

Servan-Schreiber was married twice. He married his first wife, Claude Sadoc, in 1957. They had four children; she is now married to a woman, former politician Françoise Gaspard.[8] In 1987, he married his second wife, Perla.[3]
