MediaWatch is our take on the stories big and bizarre in newspapers, on news websites, blogs and on social media. We also look at stories about how the media functions and how it’s evolving in today’s society. Presented by James Creedon, tune in at 8.45 pm Paris time for a look at the French media and 10.22 pm for the international media.
MEDIAWATCH FRANCE, Mon. 12/3/2012: Since February, Nicolas Sarkozy has finished every political rally with the same formula: an appeal for help from the French people. Was he inspired by Charles de Gaulle? We'll take a look at the coverage.
MEDIAWATCH, Thurs. 25/8/2011: Where is Gaddafi and who is joining the effort to track him down? We analyse the articles claiming that the French and British secret services aided rebels in the Battle of Tripoli and are now leading efforts to locate Gaddafi.
MEDIAWATCH, Wed. 24/8/2011: We look at the role of the media in the Libyan conflict: neutral observers or 'actors' in the outcome? Also, there has been a huge reaction in the French press to the dismissal of the Strauss-Kahn case. For one journalist, everybody was a loser in this drama - except DSK's wife, Anne Sinclair, who is the only person to have emerged with her dignity intact. Also, the New York Post continues its insults, despite the case being drawn to a close!

MEDIAWATCH FRANCE, Fri. 19/8/2011: To what extent would clamping down on social media quell riots? Is Jesus compatible with death metal? Also a Nivea ad campaign is pulled because of controversially seeking to civilise a long-haired African-American man!
MEDIAWATCH FRANCE, Thurs., 18/8/2011: We look at a persistent online rumour in France: can the police use live ammunition on demonstrations? Also, an initiative to allow workers gift their holidays to one another and finally, a French-Algerian man finds himself with no homeland.
