[edit] Jacques Lefranc: Editor or director?

I tried to ask this on Talk:Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy, but it completely drowned in the image discussion. Perhaps I will have more luck here:

I have read conflicting reports whether Jacques Lefranc was the managing director or the chief editor. According to [1] he was the managing director and Serge Faubert is the Chief Editor. Can someone verify this fact? Rasmus (talk) 08:03, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

[2] and [3] among other sources make it clear that Lefranc was appointed as "PDG" (President-Directeur-General) : not an easy term to translate - but clearly more administrative than editorial in duties. The first of those two articles cited also makes clear that his background is in banking, not journalism. Hence I would favour "director" —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 213.212.70.122 (talk • contribs) .

Thank you very much! I strongly suspected that a lot of English news agencies weren't checking their facts properly. I have corrected his title in Timeline of the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy, too. Rasmus (talk) 11:49, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

It is my understanding that a PDG is basically a CEO. Tazmaniacs
