Gérard Biard

Gérard Biard (born 4 August 1959) is a French journalist. He is the editor‑in‑chief of the satirical French news magazine, Charlie Hebdo.

He has been associated with Charlie Hebdo since 1992, when it was relaunched after a 10-year hiatus. He was in London for a conference when Charlie Hebdo'''s Paris office was targeted in a January 2015 terrorist attack.

In May 2015, Biard and film critic Jean-Baptiste Thoret accepted the PEN/Toni and James C. Goodale Freedom of Expression Courage Award on behalf of Charlie Hebdo.

Biard is strongly in favour of secularism. In October 2014 he participated in a conference of the French feminist organization Regards de femmes on the topic. He is a founder and spokesperson for Zéromacho'', an organization of men "against prostitution and for equality".
