French Journalism, Media and French Society



This course aims to identify the characteristics and evolutions of French Journalism and how it covers the issues of the French society. Our goal will be to try to answer the following questions: in what ways is French Journalism different from Anglo-American Journalism? What does it mean to be a Journalist in France today? To be powerful? To be liberal? Is the French Journalism affected by the so-called “End” or “Decline” of Journalism?

To make the subject more connected to the French social reality, this course will be based on newspaper articles, websites, books, and what we could call New Journalism, among other materials.
