MICHAELPALMER
Was the notion of ‘social movements’ appropriate for western news agencies covering central and eastern Europe pre-1989 ? Using material from major western international news agencies (AFP, AP, Reuters) –copy, books, interviews- the paper examines whether the notion of “social movements” is apposite.
29 Journalists different from others.
ALEXANDRE JOUX
The Yellow Vests social movement in France is atypical. It is built both on the field and on digital social networks. It is searching for media visibility but without spokespersons. It is a protean movement, being a challenge for journalists in its media treatment, a phenomenon reinforced by mistrust of the media. The Yellow Vests movement has thus fostered, within the journalism profession, a reflexive moment on professional practices and the media ecosystem. We tried to explore it through a series of interviews.
We have identified some invariants shared by most of the journalists interviewed. But a set of oppositions reveal also the tensions that go through the representations of journalism in France. The question of temporality, with long time contrasting with live reporting, the question of media formats, the promises of digital technologies are all points of divergence among journalists. A not-thought aspect also emerges: the
53 Brazilian social movements CAMILA LIMA DE BRAGA
This article analyses the media coverage of Brazilian social movements from France between 2013 and 2016 by seeking to understand why the June 2013 movement and those subsequent achieved to enter and remain in the French media and public sphere. Through a quantitative study of around 400 texts using a survey analysis software and a qualitative analysis of discourse, we address this central question by assessing the claims embedded in the media agenda during this time span; media’s texts and pictures authors; authorised speeches, and imaginaries built around each movement. Our corpus is composed of two different types of media:
traditional French newspapers with Le Monde, le Figaro and Libération in the printed and digitised version; and an engaged website, Autres Brésils.
81 The involvement of information producers in the digital age NATHANAËLA ANDRIANASOLO
This article deals with the transnational mediatization of a controversy which started the 8th of June 2015 by the remarks of a scientist deemed degrading the status of women in the scientific community. The significant media online coverage of this social problem questions the involvement level and the interest of journalists to deal with this mobilization which occurred on Twitter. In order to capture the flow of information and the evolution of the media treatment of this mobilization, we adopt a mixed method. A quantitative analysis of the chronological evolution of the lexicon from articles on information websites (N = 134) over the period from the 9th of June to the 19th of December 2015, as well as a qualitative analysis of a sample of articles based on an interpretive grid are realised.
The main results suggest that the geographic proximity, the position and the journalistic style of the editorial staff are factors of interest and engagement of the journalist. Also, the follow-up effect and the desire not to be overtaken by competitors reduces the journalist’s investment and pushes him to edit even more.

105 The case of niqab in the Manouba’s University MARTA LUCENO MORENO
This article analyzes how media have been used to build this case as a public problem. This case has been able to catch the political attention until the addition of the academic freedom in the Constitution, still ongoing at the time. Starting from this case, we will examine the reasoning behind the use of digital media in the Salafist network in order to diffuse their propaganda. Facing this Salafist system, the scholars have used a multiplicity of media to institutionalize their cause. We will also focus on the researches about the case’s framing made by both of the interested parties, but also the influence the use of some media and some framings in the International diffusion of the gender speech and the danger of Islamism.
133 Television framing of the Yellow Vest Movement in Egypt: crystallizing cleavages on sociodigital networks
MARIA ADIB DOSS ET MOHAMMAD ABDEL HAMID
From the Yellow Vests movement in France, the Egyptian media framing and the local reappropriation of this foreign mobilization seem interesting to study in a context hostile to protesting. This article will analyze the talk shows and the internet users' reactions to this framing by pro-government journalists. Based on an audiovisual corpus, the aim will be to observe if the cleavage of the present Egyptian society applies to a sociodigital corpus. Starting from the framing carried out by the mainstream media in Egypt, citizens engage in verbal sparring that often crystallize a frontal and binary opposition that subsumes the opinion of each other on a national scale. The Yellow Vests movement is only one reason, like any other, to assert or reaffirm one's opinions about the Egyptian political situation. The authors put into perspective two moments of salience – before and after Macron's visit to Egypt on January 27, 2019 – through an analysis of the televised speech of two talk shows (Ala masouleyaty [I’m in charge] , Kol Yoaûm [Every day]) as well as reactions on the social networks (Youtube and Facebook).
161 The Renewal of the Narrative in Social Networks: the Romanian Civic Action
"We build a hospital" storytelling. A Socio-discursive Approach OPREA DELIA
For a better understanding of the narrative through social networks, we must take into account their specific role as collective symbolic intermediaries and the language used not only in terms of formal structures, but also as a social datum. Our reflection focuses on the narrative of the commitment to the identity construction of a civic action.
Positioned between journalism and civic activity on social networks, the interventions of the #NoiConstruimUnSpital / # WeAreBuildingAHospital movement of the Romanian organization Daruieste viata (Give Life) on social networks are made of microstories always related to actions "on the ground" of real actors . This is called media hypernarratology. Indeed, a narratology refounded, because what the contemporary media narrative requires, is a redefinition of the very conditions of existence of the current story, using this narratology based on a little different bases. The article provides an overview of media exchanges at the intersection of narrative renewal and the impact of new technologies on citizen engagement, a commitment to a social movement to build a hospital and the public wellness also.
185 The protest word and its national and international resources on the Social Networks in Congo
DIDIER MAKAL
Digital social networks have, for the first time in the history of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and this is also true in certain African countries, contributed to the greater irruption of the speech of ordinary citizens in public space in subject of the socio-political management of the country. The protesting word of the order and of established leaders, it presents itself as revealing the more numerous aspirations of ordinary actors determined, thanks to online and street campaigns, to influence the changes they claim: social well-being, recognition as agents of change and democracy. This article considers that this word carries within it the means of its publicization: by proposing itself as stating the new, for a new socio- political action, it attracts the traditional media which carry it, at the same time as it solicits national and international support..

211 Artificial Intelligence and socio-digital networks: impact study on the dynamics of social movements in France and Romania
HOREA BADAU
Facebook announced the most significant redesign of the platform since 2004, aimed precisely to attracting users to groups and to create "a sense by interacting with the natural and social environment, by networking their neural networks with the networks of the nature and with social networks
”(Castells, 2012, p.8). Is this a“ mirror effect ”of Facebook for its users?
To answer this fundamental question, which poses the question of the free will of users and the risks of manipulation of the platform on individuals, I carried out a research from a corpus of thirty-five Facebook groups
"yellow vests" French and thirty-five "rezist" groups from Romania. This study therefore asks successively:
- wich are the "semantic universes" that build up "common sense" coming from humains and which are those constructed by artificial intelligence (AI)?
- wich themes brought by humans has been adopted by AI as a mirror and returned to humans in the form of a table tennis game?
- who has agglomerated and built "common sense" within the groups:
humans or AI, our faithful mirror?
