«Le Cauchemar médiatique» is the journalistic essay by Daniel Schneidermann, published by Denoël in paperback (281 pages, in French).
It analyses how the French media get carried away with certain topics —insecurity, paedophile networks, 9/11, Loft Story— and circulate panics or uncritical consensuses. It distinguishes two phases, omertà and information frenzy, and proposes detecting them to avoid falling victim to manipulation. It includes a chapter on Le Monde and the controversy surrounding the book.
The volume belongs to the Impacts collection and was originally published in 2003.
For readers interested in journalism, media criticism and the mechanisms of public opinion.
