The man was injured at the offices of Liberation newspaper, before another shooting about 90 minutes later outside the headquarters of Societe Generale bank.
In a third incident, a man was taken hostage close to the bank and forced to drive to the Champs-Elysees before being released.
Police are guarding media offices across Paris and have said it is not yet clear whether the incidents are linked.
The victim at Liberation newspaper was shot in the chest and stomach, according to police and the newspaper.
France's Interior Minister Manuel Valls speaks to media after the attack The shooter reportedly entered the lobby of the building just before 10.15am, fired two shots without warning and then fled.
Liberation says the 27-year-old victim - a photographer's assistant - is in a critical condition at the city's Pitie-Salpetriere hospital.
No one was injured at the bank shooting, according to a Societe Generale spokesperson. Police confirmed three shots were fired outside the building.
The shootings come three days after a man stormed into the Paris headquarters of news channel BFMTV brandishing a shotgun and warned a senior editor: "Next time, I will not miss you."
Police are also investigating a link with that incident and are comparing CCTV footage.
French interior minister Manuel Valls said officers had been sent to all major media organisations in the city following the shootings.
Liberation executive Nicolas Demorand said staff were horrified by the attack.

"If papers and other media have to become bunkers, something has gone wrong in our society."
