An Improbable Media Coverage? Shutdown of a Rural Factory and Journalistic Interests
Baisnée, Olivier
An Improbable Media Coverage? Shutdown of a Rural Factory and Journalistic Interests - 2017.
28
Based on a collective ethnographic fieldwork and on the quantitative analysis of 1,855 news articles, this paper focuses on the shutdown of a factory and the mobilization that followed. Known as “Les Molex”, the employees of the factory have been depicted as symbols of the 2008 economic crisis even though the closing of the factory was not linked to the economic situation at the time. We particularly concentrate on the successful yet unlikely mediatisation of the conflict by shedding a light on the day-to-day contingencies of a social conflict and of the production of information.
