Political, Academic and Media Communications: Which Articulations between these Various Registers in the Presentation of Statistical Data?
Journal Title: ESSACHESS - Journal for Communication Studies - Year 2016, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
While the statistical results of the project about empty housing in Wallonia (Belgium) are mainly communicated from a scientific point of view, the media give their autonomy to these results, offering them to the civil society. It appears that this mediatized treatment of the statistical results occurred following parliamentary questions at the Walloon Parliament about the empty housing issue, notably in relation to a public policy waiting for its execution order. On the basis of an exhaustive corpus (from the media and the parliamentary questions), we analyse the influence of this autonomy on the extended Phase of the research, precisely financed in relation to the implementation of the above mentioned public policy.
