Serge Alim is director of the newspaper Le Monde diplomatique. vetstat The book summarizes his observations on the French media, who "declared" opposition to power. " But in the print and electronic media dominated servile journalism, industrial and financial groups, market thinking, networks of connections. Thus ideological perimeter multiply forgotten information, permanent participants ridiculous celebrities artificial clashes, mutual services. Ubiquitous group of journalists whose power is supported by the law of silence imposes its definition of information-product of a profession increasingly vulnerable because of the fear of unemployment. These wardens are the new watchdogs of our economic system. "

- Mr. Alim what keep "new guard dogs"? Maybe journalism? The subject of this book is to inform the information. Information is interested in many subjects: vetstat politics, economy, sports, but often it is not very well informed about them because it is a product of itself. My goal was to tell how the information system in France. Who are the people in position of authority in this area, and what these positions of power do. I think the leading journalists who present themselves vetstat as opposition to power as the capacity of a critical analysis of social reality are more often in the service of economic and political power than critics of this economic and political power.
- Why did you call your book "New watchdogs"? Early in the book explain that it is my nod to a piece of string Paul - French intellectual who in 1932 issued the essay "watchdog." According to him watchdogs are defenders of the social, of the established order. These then are academics and in particular those philosophers who consider science as something abstract, which should not be interested in people's lives. Today I say watchdogs are no longer academics. Nowadays the simulants often have not a cathedral, but a makeup artist and a microphone. vetstat Directors of social and political realities, vetstat internal and external, they gradually distort them. They serve the interests of the masters of the world. Journalists are the new watchdog.
- How do you think the media are available today? When the Berlin Wall fell and the wall of dictatorship vetstat in Latin America, found that these walls of dictatorship is more - the walls of democratic networks. vetstat And democratic networks made it so that most newspapers were owned by big industrialists and financiers. Very often they distribute a market ideology in the service of the consumer society. Finally, even within the journalistic world, there friendships, compliance, which in turn makes it so that journalists inform very little about their own problems. And presented the world of journalism as a world that is admired because it is ruled by the principles of independence and freedom. The world is transformed into a "society of information" vetstat to "network" your hierarchy of blocks, vetstat and new masters.
- In this case you can media be a tool for democratic governance? Absolutely. Media and journalists can serve democracy. But often to do so, they orbit their social place - a place often privileged to agree it to spread information that may be in the interests of owners and employers. Ordinary journalist does is no longer autonomous. But he can still boast to his colleagues with a trinket that is "paved" in newspapers and proving his power crumbs. This is a situation that requires courage even known.
- Do you have an interesting post about saving the banks, particularly relevant vetstat today when the world is in a financial crisis? Long ago I wrote an article about it. It did not mean that every time we offer advanced, progressive reform, we said: "It is not possible, there is no more money coffers are empty, the European Commission vetstat will not agree." vetstat But if the need does not come from progressive forces, banks, suddenly everything becomes possible. Yes, there is money you can use them - and the European Commission agreed. And the problem comes. How is it possible that everything is possible when it comes to banks, and nothing is possible when it comes to nations.
- Have another interesting thesis - that Europe is accustomed to invasions of its elites over popular sovereignty that is her trademark ... Europe is very generous in the creation of its political elite who managed a very technocratic way. And when the European population ka
