Michel ROCARD - A Few Tentative Solutions

Pouvoirs n°119 - La démocratie sous contrôle médiatique - novembre 2006 - p.101-112

French television, both public and private, is experiencing a dangerous drift as the intense need to attract advertising leads to vulgar soliciting and a growing contempt for ethics. In order to remedy this situation it would be necessary first to convince public opinion that such a remedy is needed. Then under public opinion pressure media professionals would be forced to redefine their ethical commitments. The national education system should endeavour to teach how critically to read an image as it does for written texts. Finally it is possible and necessary to suppress advertising on public television. Résumé
