Europe in the French press: study of the context effects

Summary/Abstract: If the participation of medias to ordinary kowledges as well as their impact on the social construction and tranformation of social representations is not usually denied , the originality of this study is to operationnalize the analysis of the discourse produced by the press just at the interface of discursive contexts and social contexts in the frame of social representation theory. The analysis of 292 articles about Europe from the main national french daily press during the pre-electoral period of the 2004 european elections has been done with the textual analysis program ALCESTE. It shows the content and the organization of the discours as well as the position of each news paper. The discussion of the results is focalized on these effects of contexts and on the links between media discourse and social representations notabily in their identity functions and the anchorage phenomenum to conclude on the media plurial logic in the production of likelihood.
