In the history of the French press, the occupation of journalist was built on a speech of necessity to provide a function of mediation between the society (citizens) and the political power (elected officials). This mediation concerns an implied contract with the Republic within the framework of a shared movement which was prolonged until in the first alternation of left under ve République. At the moment of the deregulation of the sector, which caused a questioning of this republican pact, it is necessary to reconsider the history of this tradition.
