Technicité intellectuelle et professionnalisme des journalistes

摘要

This article questions the concept of intellectual technicity of journalism. In the first part, it looks at the usual practices of the profession, particularly the use of the notion of a "viewpoint", and concludes that the technical dimension, although present, is nonetheless incomplete and unsystematized. In the second part the authors relate this technicity to the socio-professional context, by explaining that the claim of being part of a technical milieu, very frequent in professionalist discourse, is part of journalists' broad strategy of controlling their field of activity.
