The communicative phenomenon of information solidarity

Abstract

Journalists sometimes seem to lose their objectivity and rebel in the face of scandalous situations: they show that they are also human, as opposed to others who invoke a misunderstood professionalism to act like machines. On the basis of these assumptions, the author speaks of what he calls 'the communicative phenomenon of news solidarity', observed after the events of Tianamen, and constantly manifested again after the criminal events in Algeria and Chiapas.
