TREATMENT OF POLITICAL EVENTS

This work highlights a criminological study focusing on the treatment of political events in the audiovisual media of Lubumbashi in the Democratic Republic of Congo. In a comprehensive approach, this research shows that the radio and television stations in Lubumbashi display various attitudes towards political events. By deconstructing the media discourse broadcast in the form of political information, it emerges that the media concerned make strategic choices to render this journalistic work.This book shows that the different media behaviours taken at an angle are manifested in action, reaction or inaction. Among these attitudes, we note problematic situations that go against journalistic standards, mainly the code of ethics and deontology governing this profession.This reveals that the discourse disseminated in the form of political information in the audiovisual media of Lubumbashi is a social construction that involves several actors, including the media, politicians and civil society.
