Abstract

With the uncontrollable growth of the sciences and the techniques of communication, France has been living, for more than 20 years, a kind of neurosis in this field. But there is risk here of speeches becoming no more than laudatory communication. This idea grows parallel to the notion that professional’s jornalism is discredited: its investigative aspect seems to have been replaced by institutionalized propaganda. It is there that Serge Moitti’s article punctuates, the confusion between to inform and to communicate: journalists that before promoted the debate now became storytellers.
