Abstract
Dans une analyse de contenu réalisée en 1977 pour le compte du Conseil de la radiodiffusion et des télécommunications canadiennes, Arthur Siegel constatait que la langue des réseaux français et anglais de Radio-Canada influençait fortement l'image de la réalité géopolitique canadienne présentée par les journaux télévisés de ces deux réseaux. Une analyse comparative menée en 1987 établit que la couverture des nouvelles canadiennes n'a guère évolué malgré les incitations du CRTC et la volonté de la direction de Radio-Canada. La concurrence entre stations de télévision publiques et privées de même que les normes professionnelles des journalistes sont des explications plus efficaces de cette situation que les préjugés politiques attribués aux journalistes.
In a content analysis realized in 1977 for the purposes of the C.R.T.C., Arthur Siegel noted that the image of Canadian geopolitical reality presented in their news programme by the English and French television networks of the CBC was heavily influenced by the linguistic cleavage. A comparative analysis undertaken in 1987 shows that the coverage of Canadian news has failed to evolve despite the urgings of the C.R.T.C. and the will of CBC management to understand this situation. It is suggested that competition between public and private television networks, as well as the professional norms guiding journalists, are better explanations than the presumed political prejudices of these journalists.
