About Franck Annese

Franck Annese is the founder of several magazines: SOFA, a cultural generalist magazine in 1999, SOFILM, about cinema in 2012, DOOLITTLE, about children, and PEDALE, about cycling. He successfully imposed a new vision of magazine journalism conceptualized under the term “3H” (History, Human, Humor) thanks, in particular, to the success of SO FOOT, a magazine about football, culture, and society, which he created in 2002 and which became, in ten years, one of the leading magazines in the French press, and a reference well beyond the world of football.
