Of all media, the one that prevails in the coverage of popular revolts, is the Arabic channel Al-Jazeera . She has won notoriety, reputation. With this success, the chain can negotiate its distribution by major U.S. cable operators, Comcast, Time Warner Cable, Cablevision. She was so far back as the small network of Burlington (Vermont) where his presence was challenged as an anti-American and anti-isreaélienne. Al-Jazeerah
takes advantage of its better knowledge of the field: his reporters speak Arabic, know the political cultures of the countries concerned. In fact, this is not the presence extraordinary in countries in crisis - what to revisit the romantic image of war correspondent (Hemingway, etc..) Disguised as a soldier jumping on the event - that the presence ordinary for understanding and explaining.
Traditional media paying their collusion with Western governments, their lack of land, languages, cultures, journalism as special envoy of Journalism event. Al-Jazeera said that the star is the people not the journalist. As social networks, their role in the information should not be confused with their possible role in the political turmoil. They attract attention, animate groups as was done previously, leaflets, posters, press activist. The information results from an investigation of the facts and their interpretation.
journalism must learn from the Ecole des Annales, focus time on the event, but also sociological epistemology to examine the "facts" which can not be stressed enough that they are "facts" (how, by whom). This raises the question of journalism, training in journalism and above its function, educational or demagogic, or please explain. See Montaigne: "And good historians flee as a stagnant pool or a dead sea narratives stalls, to return to sedition, with little or they know we call them" ( Essays III, 12).
