Martin Weill

In the days following the November 2015 Paris terror attacks, Le Petit Journal sent its reporters on to the streets of Paris to document the public's reactions. Weill recorded an interview with a six-year-old boy named Brandon, who, when asked if he understood why the attackers had done what they had done, responded: "Yes, because they're really, really mean. Bad guys are not very nice. And we have to be really careful because we have to change houses." Videos of the interview went viral in both the French- and English-speaking world. Brandon and his father were later invited to Le Petit Journal's studio to be interviewed once again by Weill and Barthès.

From September 2012 to June 2013, Weill worked as a reporter for Canal+'s Sunday afternoon programme Le Supplément. Since 26 August 2013 he has worked as a special correspondent for the nightly news and entertainment programme Le Petit Journal, hosted by Yann Barthès. He has reported from a large number of countries around the world; in January 2016 it was reported that he had accumulated 553 803 kilometres of travel in a little over two years of working for Le Petit Journal, or the equivalent of 14 trips around the world. Weill speaks English, French, Spanish, and some Portuguese.
