Le journalisme est-il en danger? Censure, pressions politiques et économiques, intimidations, précarité de la profession, atteintes à la protection des sources journalistiques - comment faire face à ces menaces? Journalisme à l'épreuve est un nouveau titre du Conseil de l'Europe, dans lequel 10 experts analysent le rôle du journaliste dans une société démocratique. Le journalisme est-il en danger ? L’image du journaliste, correspondant de guerre casqué et protégé par un gilet pare-balles, uniquement armé de sa caméra et de son micro, s’impose d’emblée. Les dangers physiques ne sont pourtant que les plus visibles ; d’autres menaces pèsent sur les journalistes, et sur le journalisme : censure, pressions politiques et économiques, intimidations, précarité de la profession, atteintes à la protection des sources journalistiques... Les réseaux sociaux et la photographie numérique, permettant à tout un chacun de diffuser de l’information, bouleversent également l’éthique du journalisme. Comment faire face à ces menaces ? Quel est le rôle du Conseil de l’Europe, de la Cour européenne des droits de l’homme et des gouvernements nationaux dans la protection des journalistes et de la liberté d’expression ? Dans cet ouvrage, dix experts d’horizons divers analysent la situation sous des angles différents. Ils soulèvent des interrogations et proposent des réponses relatives au rôle du journalisme dans une société démocratique à une époque où le métier est soumis à de multiples épreuves, alors qu’un journalisme libre et de qualité est plus que jamais nécessaire.

Le journalisme à l'épreuve

Is journalism under threat? Censorship, political pressure, intimidation, job insecurity and attacks on the protection of journalists’ sources - how can these threats be tackled?Journalism at Risk is a new book from the Council of Europe, in which ten experts from different backgrounds examine the role of journalism in democratic societies. Is journalism under threat? The image of journalists, as helmeted war correspondents protected by bullet-proof vests and armed only with cameras and microphones, springs to mind. Physical threats are only the most visible dangers, however. Journalists and journalism itself are facing other threats such as censorship, political and economic pressure, intimidation, job insecurity and attacks on the protection of journalists’ sources. Social media and digital photography mean that anyone can now publish information, which is also upsetting the ethics of journalism. How can these threats be tackled? What is the role of the Council of Europe, the European Court of Human Rights and national governments in protecting journalists and freedom of expression? In this book, 10 experts from different backgrounds analyse the situation from various angles. At a time when high-quality, independent journalism is more necessary than ever – and yet when the profession is facing many different challenges – they explore the issues surrounding the role of journalism in democratic societies.

Gender Hate Online addresses the dynamic nature of misogyny: how it travels, what technological and cultural affordances support or obstruct this and what impact reappropriated expressions of misogyny have in other cultures. It adds significantly to an emergent body of scholarship on this topic by bringing together a variety of theoretical approaches, while also including reflections on the past, present, and future of feminism and its interconnections with technologies and media. It also addresses the fact that most work on this area has been focused on the Global North, by including perspectives from Pakistan, India and Russia as well as intersectional and transcultural analyses. Finally, it addresses ways in which women fight back and reclaim online spaces, offering practical applications as well as critical analyses. This edited collection therefore addresses a substantial gap in scholarship by bringing together a body of work exclusively devoted to this topic. With perspectives from a variety of disciplines and geographic bases, the volume will be of major interest to scholars and students in the fields of gender, new media and hate speech.
