About Bruce Crumley

Bruce Crumley, Paris bureau chief for TIME, helps shape TIME's coverage of France and Europe in areas including business, politics, religion, terrorism and sports. He joined TIME in 1988, when he began working as a stringer for the Paris bureau.

During his 20-year career at TIME, Crumley has covered virtually every aspect of French political, social and economic life.
