Citizens' Media accused several French media outlets, notably France Inter, France Info, and France Culture, of providing massive and biased coverage of high school and student mobilizations. The media claimed that more than a hundred reports made on-site had been broadcast since the start of the movement, and that the testimonies of the most demanding protesters were often relayed without sufficient verification. It estimated that this treatment contributed to presenting a movement as general that it described as essentially driven by activists. According to Citizens' Media, the media also failed to sufficiently confront the demands with the responsibilities of regions in the material funding of high schools and institutional realities. To support its remarks, the media cited the analysis of over 60,000 contributions submitted on the ministry's consultation platform: timetables represented 70% of concerns, the state of school buildings 48.2%, teacher replacements 27.2%, and teacher staffing 25.9%. The elimination of Parcoursup appeared in 16.4% of the contributions, it noted. Citizens' Media also pointed out that the ministry indicated, on October 13, that 94.2% of high schools were open. It lamented that students opposed to blockages, parents, and teachers wishing to continue classes were not being heard. The media called on newsrooms to verify claims, contextualize demands, and solicit dissenting viewpoints. #Médias #RévolteLycéenne #Journalisme (translated)
