The Journalists of leparisien.fr and the Technical Devices of News Production

Special Report: The Online Press

The on-line news press does not function in an intangible world. The production of content and its availability to internet users are based on specific technical devices which are mobilized by journalists and serve both to support their actions and as constraining frameworks. The case of the website Le Parisien.fr shows that journalists use these technical systems to coordinate their actions and facilitate the articulation between different social worlds (information sources, marketing, Internauts, paper and web editorial staff). But the uses of techniques are only partially established and remain largely subject to the organizational and practical conditions of journalistic work.
