objectives Metamedia

Metamedia blog takes over from the website that has existed for some years. He wants to foster a better understanding of journalistic practice through the work of analysts, researchers and observers of the journalistic community.

The notion of "journalistic practices" refers to what the media publish or broadcast - and that they do not broadcast to a certain extent - but also to the treatment accorded to information (journalistic genres, direct, sensationalism , fairness, accuracy, impartiality, etc.). and the means to do so (hidden cameras, unnamed sources, etc..).

The exchange sites, observation and rigorous criticism of journalistic practices are rare in the Francophone world, as they bloom in the Anglo-Saxon.

You are invited to share your analysis and research on the practices of journalism. We will be pleased to arrange a storefront without border if these collaborations meet our goals of stimulating a healthy and fruitful debate, rigorous and respectful of the elementary rules of rational argument. Good

In Canada, the Ombudsman de Radio-Canada operates more like a journalistic accountability mechanism that receives complaints, analyze and decide on well founded. Its decisions are reflected in an annual report that has changed greatly since 1993: shorter but much more widespread, notably on the Internet.

While some similarities exist between these two models, the differences are more numerous. The study we propose will thus highlight the role and function of these two mediators are not identical: the Canadian model approximating a legal procedure, while the French model is simply an area of debate.
