ABSTRACT
In Great Britain, the criticism of the submission of financial journalism to financial logics, to the detriment of journalistic quality, is a fairly old one. Financial journalists are elements in the division of financial work. This is the hypothesis that is developed in this chapter, based on a longitudinal study of the careers of French financial journalists. It provides more information regarding the case of financial journalism in France. The data used to analyse the careers of French financial journalists was extracted from the professional online social network LinkedIn in July 2015. The chapter summarizes the conditions under which financial journalists maintain or modify their commitment. The particular context of the "Internet bubble" reveals another crucial dimension of the relationship between journalism and finance at the time of financialisation; namely, how stock market activity pressured the labour market and career development of financial journalists.
