«Anxiety Show: de la peur à la télévision» is an essay by Daniel Schneidermann, published by Arléa in 1994 (58 pages, in French).
The essay analyses the role of fear on television: how the medium turns it into spectacle, amplifies it and uses it to hold the audience's attention. Schneidermann examines the mechanisms of that emotion on the screen and what its treatment reveals about the society that consumes it.
Will interest readers of media analysis and anyone looking for a brief reflection on the treatment of fear in television news.
