Yves Lavoinne analyses this 'unusually complex special relationship' from an historical point of view; in the interval between the advent of modern journalism at the end of the 19th century and today's desire to experience directly - or have the illusion of experiencing - history in the making, the interaction between these two worlds has changed.
