She anchored the newscasts on La Cinq from 1987 to 1992.

From 1997 to 2007, Schönberg presented the weekend edition of France 2's Journal de 20 heures (8 p.m. Newscast).[2][3]

She was formerly married to the musician and composer Claude-Michel Schönberg.

On 21 July 2005, she married the French politician Jean-Louis Borloo at Rueil-Malmaison, Hauts-de-Seine. The journalists' union SDJ (Société des journalistes) then called for her resignation.

In September 2006, France 2 announced they had agreed with Schönberg. Effective 25 February 2007, she was replaced as a news anchor by Laurent Delahousse but would continue with the network as the host of a prime-time science program. She did not return to the network after the second part of the presidential election in May 2007 because her husband was given a cabinet post in President Nicolas Sarkozy's government.[4]
