Benjamin Cuq (born November 24, 1974) is a French journalist and writer.
Career
After studying sociology at Saint-Denis University, Benjamin Cuq became journalist for the press magazine (Télé 7 Jours) in May 1996. In 1999, he began working on the first French edition of FHM as deputy editor. He has worked for many French magazines and newspapers such as France Dimanche, Ici Paris, Union, Télé Star, Marianne, France Soir, and Le Parisien.[1]
In May 2004, he wrote a biographical book, Queen de A à Z,[2] which only sold 3000 copies. In November 2005, a new edition of the book was published, with a new cover.[2]
In September 2011, Cuq became editor / project manager of the program, L'Hebdo des JT, produced by Revon & Gateau Productions on behalf of Planète+, the documentary TV channel of the Canal+ group.[3] Since September 2012, he has published auto testings for the Le Parisien weekly supplement. In October 2012, he launched, with French journalist Anthony Martin, the film magazine, See. He also wrote some "Nous nous sommes tant aimés", documentaries about French stars, produced by Revon et Gateau Productions.[3] In October 2013, Benjamin Cuq published his second book, Le Livre Noir de Renault ("The Black Book of Renault").[4] The book got four stars in an Amazon poll. Cuq writes the dark side of the story of Renault: how Louis Renault met Adolf Hitler and worked with the Nazis. The novel goes into Renault's car model failures and why they failed, Renault American history, the murder of worker Pierre Overney, and the assassination of Renault chairman Georges Besse by Action directe.[5][6][7][8][9]
Filmography
On May 1, 2012, experimental filmmaker and French director Gérard Courant filmed Benjamin Cuq for one of his Cinématon chapters, the number 2623.[10] They chose this date because Benjamin Cuq definies himself as Libertarian, in opposition of International Workers' Day.[11]
