Press Briefs reported that 780 female and male students from 15 journalism schools had denounced, in a forum, the media coverage of high school mobilizations. The signatories believed that sensationalist editorial lines rendered the demands invisible and that some media omitted police violence in favor of the damage and incidents they attributed to people outside the movement. They also criticized some newsrooms for broadcasting images of minors without blurring their faces. The forum cited data from ACRIMED on the television news of France 2 between September 28 and October 1, 2026: 11 segments were dedicated to the mobilizations, of which 75% of the time focused on material damage, 8% on the demands, and 3% on police violence, which amounted to 47 seconds. The students said they observed a gap between what they saw on the ground and the media coverage, which they deemed contrary to journalistic ethics. They called on mainstream media to better contextualize the movement and take responsibility. The signatories came from the Journalism School of CY Cergy, Celsa – Paris, CFJ – Paris, ESJ – Lille, Journalism School of Grenoble, IFP – Paris, EJCAM – Marseille, IJBA – Bordeaux, IPJ – Paris, EDJ – Paris, CUEJ – Strasbourg, IUT of Lannion, EJC – Cannes, Master of Journalism of Metz, and EPJT – Tours. #journalisme #médiatique #désinformation (translated)
