Abstract

This paper examines a concept conceived by the French philosopher Jean Baudrillard: the media which, not respecting anymore, takes itself as the event. Therefore, it is once again about the role of media in a highly mediatic society. A question arises: even journalism has definitely become entertainment? Between theory and practice, the traces of the mutation appear to eliminate any doubt. Somehow, five years after Baudrillard’s death, this paper takes stock of his legacy through a fragment of his vast, rich and controversial work as an ironic analyst.
