Against the democratic malaise

This little book is a kind of bomb that reveals the system, unfortunately very French, reverence journalism. The reading is chilling because it makes us aware how much a part of the press and media is plagued by the need to please those who make them live sometimes sjuqu'à lose all critical sense.
It reveals indeed a sad paradox if today they are relatively independent of political power, they are not, however, large industrial groups controlling them and make them live, largely. This situation is rooted in the almost permanent crisis they are victims and actors and that weakens especially.
The book dismantles the mechanisms of this situation shows, eg to support, how the information can be distorted or obscured when it comes to protecting certain economic interests and highlights the political ramifications this may have .
The author's thesis is that this system is involved in the current democratic malaise. We can of course discuss it and do not agree with him. But the high quality of the book is that it reacted on a hot topic (the relationship between economics and information) and leads us to wonder about the meaning of the information we deliver to the general public.
