La presente etude contribue a ce debat par l’analyse d’un large echantillon d’utilisateurs francophones sur Twitter, se focalisant sur le partage et la discussion de l’actualite. Bien que soit observee la « geometrie variable » d’une communication transversale a plusieurs etages, en ce qui concerne les sujets les plus partages et commentes, l’agenda observable sur cette plate-forme reflete en grande partie l’agenda mediatique plus large. A la difference des etudes portant sur les Etats-Unis, nous ne discernons aucune polarisation politique mais plutot un mainstream, dont l’hegemonie est pourtant loin d’etre totale.","PeriodicalId":213999,"journal":{"name":"Réseaux.

Among university academics, 'audience researchers' have had a bad press. It is assumed that they are biased in favour of a programme scheduling policy aimed at a mass audience and subject to the 'dictatorship of the ratings' and are thus inimical to all creators and innovators. Audience researchers are thought to personify subservient research. I would like to demonstrate that this profession is both more subtle and more widely useful than is generally known. I will try to show: that it helps clarify the complex nature of the television audience; that it promotes a better understanding of the behaviour of television viewers; that the knowledge it provides is indispensable for those who decide television scheduling policy: and that this information is particularly important in any consideration of the mission of the public sector channels).","PeriodicalId":213999,"journal":{"name":"Réseaux.

It furthermore faces the idea that the media do not serve as a basis for the conflictual construction of representations, norms and values, but only as an empirical and disordered juxtaposition of meaningless information. Consequently, it seems relevant to question the value of notions such as the 'public sphere' and 'public opinion'. The latter is a necessity peculiar to modern societies which, without tradition, have to rely on argumentation and intersubjectivity to operate. The pseudo-scientific positivism which is alleged to have replaced teleological discourse in the public sphere has in this sense to be considered as rhetoric, a means of argumentation.","PeriodicalId":213999,"journal":{"name":"Réseaux.

A parallel can be drawn in terms of usage and effects on domestic time and space, on social and family relations and on lifestyles, for young people are generally at the cutting edge of these developments. The two main tendencies of our societies, towards 'privatization' and individualization, constitute the historical backdrop to these processes. Apart from social and cultural changes and the proliferation of currently available media, it is relevant to study the cycle of usage - from the elite to the general public to specialists - of these media seem as their status evolves from 'new' to 'familiar'.","PeriodicalId":213999,"journal":{"name":"Réseaux.

This change can be imputed to a shift in the 'communicational imagination' of the professionals (presenters and producers) on whom the process of mediating these programmes depends. If we extend our investigation to include Europe and North America, we find that there are in fact several models, each fulfilling a different social function, which can broadly be described as 'talk shows'. The emergence and proliferation of such shows provides an effective indicator of a new relationship between television and its public, and of a new way of regulating programme schedules. It also makes possible a reconsideration of the elaboration of both internal and external communication contracts for studio performances in general.","PeriodicalId":213999,"journal":{"name":"Réseaux.

The Research on Advanced Communications in Europe (RACE) was an attempt by the European Community to do away with this system. The programme did, to some extent, eliminate duplication but not X- inefficiency. Its only real achievement seems to have been the development of contact between European firms. If this was the true goal of RACE, then full co-ordination, in the sense Ulph gives to it, was not necessary. Simple co-ordination would have been sufficient. The co-operative approach adopted with RACE enabled the European industry to stay afloat at a time of technological upheaval. It did not, however, enable this industry to take the lead.","PeriodicalId":213999,"journal":{"name":"Réseaux.

Usually an event is announced by telephone; a letter or a telegram is considered less appropriate, at least for the more immediate family members. While any telephone conversation enables interlocutors to maintain their relationships, the announcement by phone of an event relevant to the family emphasises them. One telephones to announce an event, to inquire about another's well-being, to reassure a family member, to provide support and to be, in a sense, present.","PeriodicalId":213999,"journal":{"name":"Réseaux.

Disconcerted by this medium, the authorities wondered how they could exploit it without favouring the 'class enemy'.
