The Independence of the News Media
This book explores the different ways Francophone research on news media has faced the challenges of dependence and independence from three complementary perspectives. The first is economics - how can sustainable business models be developed and to what extent can crowdfunding help to maintain the financial and editorial independence of newsrooms? Secondly, in a time where the role of journalism in the public sphere is more questioned than ever, the authors evaluate to what extent news media can embody the needs of their readers. Thirdly, the authors consider the historical and political context of publication in the light of the ‘Arab Spring’. This book deals with major, contemporary evolutions of news media, bringing together research that considers the media in France, Canada, and the Arab region (notably Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, and Egypt). Using numerous case studies, this book helps to define how complex the question of independence is today.
Quantitative Semiotic Analysis
This contributed volume gives access to semiotic researches adopting a quantitative stance. European semiotics is traditionally based on immanent methodologies: meaning is seen as an autonomous dimension of human existence, whose laws can be investigated via purely qualitative analytical and reflexive analysis. Today, researches crossing disciplinary boundaries reveal the limitations of such an homogeneous practice. In particular, two families of quantitative research strategies can be identified. On the one hand, researchers wish to naturalize meaning, by making semiotic results interact with those coming from Neurophysiological and psychological sciences. On the other hand, statistical and computational tools are adopted to work on linguistic and multimedia corpora. The book acts to put the two approaches into dialogue.
Media Pluralism in the Digital Era
Bringing together scholars, journalists, and researchers from 27 European countries, this book provides a comparative and longitudinal analysis of the evolution of conditions and standards relevant for sustainable, free, and plural media and journalism in Europe in the last ten years. Approaching the challenging and ever-changing concept of media pluralism from various complementary and sometimes conflicting angles, combining legal, economic, social, and political perspectives, chapters provide a holistic account of the concept of media pluralism, a key condition for a well-functioning democracy. This book draws on data from the Media Pluralism Monitor project, a scientific tool designed and...
Digital Information Ecosystems
Digital information, particularly for online newsgathering and reporting, is an industry fraught with uncertainty and rapid innovation. Digital Information Ecosystems: Smart Press crosses academic knowledge with research by media groups to understand this evolution and analyze the future of the sector, including the imminent employment of bots and artificial intelligence. The book adopts an original and multidisciplinary approach to this topic: combining the science of media economics with the experience of a practicing journalist of a major daily newspaper. The result is an essential guide to the opportunities of the media to respond to a changing global digital landscape. Independent news reporting is vital in the contemporary democracy; the media must itself become a new “smart press”.
L'aventure des "grands" hommes
Puisant ses racines dans l'Amérique de la fin du XIXe siècle, le basket nourrit aujourd'hui des cultures propres et des pratiques distinctes dans l'Hexagone comme dans le monde. Malgré l'indéniable influence du basketball américain sur le rythme de croissance de son épigone français, on ne peut considérer l'histoire de la balle au panier en France comme le simple décalque d'une pratique née aux Etats-Unis. Franco-américaine ou américano-française, l'histoire du basket-ball est avant tout un creuset; support identitaire pour des communautés hétérogènes, le basket reflète les mutations sociales, culturelles, économiques ou encore politiques qui traversent la société contemporaine. Des berceaux - associations protestantes, patronages catholiques, foyers franco-américains ou encore Ecoles normales - au développement des clubs professionnels, des premières démonstrations confidentielles à la médiatisation du "spectacle NBA", les études réunies ici questionnent cette histoire de "grands" hommes dans une logique pluridisciplinaire.

Le Nouveau Monde des médias
Allons-nous laisser les GAFA détruire notre démocratie et notre culture ? En vingt-cinq ans, les géants du numérique ont envahi l’espace informationnel et la sphère du divertissement. Le bilan ? Concurrence dissymétrique avec les acteurs traditionnels et, surtout, menaces pour notre démocratie. Dans un monde où les données sont devenues le nouvel or noir, les industries numériques, suivant une logique de profit, ont mis hors jeu le citoyen bien informé pour lui préférer un consommateur bien aiguillé. Nathalie Sonnac se livre à une analyse détaillée du marché de la culture et de l’information qui modèle notre société aujourd’hui. Pour réformer notre cadre réglemen...
