(Le 19 janvier 2011<\/a>.) Parmi les sujets abord\u00e9s, le r\u00f4le d’Internet par rapport au journalisme et le r\u00f4le du journaliste par rapport aux conditions politiques actuelles.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n En deux mots, sur les deux sujets… Internet a permis une transformation r\u00e9volutionnaire de la communication de l’information, donc avec un effet profond sur le m\u00e9tier de journalisme ; dans les circonstances politiques et de communication actuelles, le journaliste doit jouer un r\u00f4le d’informateur politique du public de plus en plus important, alors que les dirigeants politiques s’emploient surtout \u00e0 dissimuler l’information. (Il ne s’exclame d’ailleurs pas \u00e0 propos de cette situation, estimant que chacun tient son r\u00f4le \u00e0 cet \u00e9gard, exprimant une vision tr\u00e8s am\u00e9ricaniste du contr\u00f4le de l’information… «\u00ab\u00a0In the US we have the First Amendment which protects freedom of speech,\u00a0\u00bb he said, adding: \u00ab\u00a0In my opinion, it is the government’s job to keep stuff like this a secret – it is my job to find it out.\u00a0\u00bb<\/em>»)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n «The Internet and the development of new mediums for transmitting information have led to a complete transformation of the global media, according to famous investigative journalist, Seymour Hersh, who argued that journalists now have an increasingly important role to play in distributing information to people around the world.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n »In an exclusive interview with Gulf Times, Hersh expressed his belief that journalists – rather than world leaders or government officials – offer readers, viewers and listeners the most important access to the truth.<\/em> […]<\/p>\n<\/p>\n »\u00ab\u00a0It is so fascinating – the Internet has changed everything,\u00a0\u00bb he stated. \u00ab\u00a0The Internet is changing the way we think – OK, a lot of stupid stuff gets out there too, but the Internet is changing the way we find out about news,\u00a0\u00bb he said.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n »Although slightly reluctant to discuss the furore surrounding WikiLeaks, Hersh argued that when nations are involved in \u00ab\u00a0unjust wars\u00a0\u00bb then there are bound to be leaks as a result of the disillusionment of people affected by their government’s actions.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n » \u00ab\u00a0He has made it a bit too much about him and his character, which I think is a mistake,\u00a0\u00bb he said of WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange, who he nevertheless described as \u00ab\u00a0very smart and very driven.\u00a0\u00bb He noted that Assange released the leaks through newspapers and has only revealed a small amount of the information and documents he possesses…<\/em>»<\/p>\n<\/p>\n dedefensa.org<\/em><\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hersh sur le journalisme, le secret et Internet De passage au Qatar où il donnait une conf\u00e9rence, le journaliste am\u00e9ricain du New Yorker Seymour Hersh, c\u00e9l\u00e8bre depuis qu’il a r\u00e9v\u00e9l\u00e9 le massacre de My Lai au public en 1969, mais aussi plus r\u00e9cemment concernant la politique bushiste, donne ici une interview au Gulf Times.
