Gaspard Glanz was the founder in 2011 of information website Taranis News[6], which mostly focuses on news of Social movements, or what he refers to as "street journalism". He films and photographs at ZAD of Sivens Dam and Notre-Dame-des-Landes, the Calais Jungle, Paris while protests against El Khomri law, Nuit debout movement[7] and Yellow vests movement.[8]
Critics question his quality of journalism, in particular the fact that he does not have a press card.[9]
He collaborates as a stringer for online media, such as Rue89 Strasbourg or Reporterre.[10]
During the summer of 2015, he made a film about the exodus of refugees in the Balkans.[8]
In November 2015, while covering a militant action against a bank in collaboration with Rue89 Strasbourg, he was arrested, but refused to give up his images.[11][12]
Arrested in the Calais Jungle in October 2016, he was arrested[13] and prohibited from staying throughout the Pas-de-Calais.[14][15] He learned while in custody that he was the subject of a fiche S.[16] According to the newspaper Le Point, Glanz was "sentenced four times, the last in 2017 for theft by the Boulogne-sur-Mer Criminal Court, while covering the evacuation of the Calais jungle".[17] e is accused of stealing a CRS walkie-talkie that he claims to have picked up from the ground.[4]
In 2017, he received threats on social media, after having said that police officers frequently pose as journalists during demonstrations.[14] He is the subject of a fiche S,[18][19] and denounces a "judicial harassment".[20] In his S sheet, it is noted that he would be "a member of the anarcho-autonomous movement and susceptible to violent action".[17]
In July 2018, images shot by Gaspard Glanz and Clément Lanot entered the record of the parliamentary commission gathered to shed light on the Benalla affair.[21]
