Relations between media and politics in France have been particularly tense in recent weeks, as highlighted by France 24 on Thursday, September 18.
The cases of Adèle Haenel on France Télévisions, the party La France Insoumise (LFI) on BFM, and Xenia Fedorova on Cnews illustrate these tensions, marked by accusations of censorship, boycotts, and pressure tactics.
Academic Anna Arzoumanov, author of the book Censorship, sheds light on these conflicting dynamics, questioning the current balance of power between media and political actors in France.
