SEMAINES NATIONALES de la presse
2003
Quatorzième Semaine de la
presse dans l'école - du 24 au 29 mars 2003 (Communiqué de presse
du Ministère de l'Education Nationale - jeudi 4 juillet 2002)
Réuni sous la présidence de Denis Roger-Vasselin, conseiller technique
du ministre délégué à l'enseignement scolaire, le groupe
de pilotage national de la Semaine de la presse dans l'école a fixé
les dates de la quatorzième édition.
Elle se déroule du
lundi 24 au samedi 29 mars 2003.
Cette année, il est proposé aux enseignants d'aborder le même
thème que l'an passé : "Les images d'information" : photos
de presse, reportages télévisés, infographies, dessins de presse,
le visuel sur Internet mais aussi les "images" radiophoniques.
L'an passé, la Semaine de la presse dans l'école a réuni 3 850
080 élèves et 270 331 enseignants issus de 12 434 établissements
scolaires (11 634 en 2001). Cette treizième édition a été
organisée avec le concours de 792 médias (+ 47 par rapport à
2001), 466 titres de la presse écrite, 326 radios, télévisions
et agences de presse.
Pour les enseignants, s'associer à la semaine de la Presse dans l'École,
c'est proposer aux élèves de développer des capacités
primordiales : l'aptitude à utiliser de nouveaux supports de lecture, la capacité
à s'informer avec discernement, la participation à la vie de la cité
et l'adhésion à des valeurs universelles.
L'inscription à la 14e édition se fera uniquement par Internet :
- Pour les médias, du lundi 25 novembre au vendredi 20 décembre 2002
sur le site Internet du Clemi
- Pour les établissements scolaires, du jeudi 9 janvier 2003, à partir
de 14 h, jusqu'au vendredi 7 février 2003 à 18 h sur le site Internet du Clemi
Thématique:
En 2002 il était proposé aux enseignants de travailler sur "l'image
dans les médias".
images fixes :
photos, dessins, bandes dessinées,
schémas, graphiques, infographies, cartes, publicités, logos, pictogrammes
animées :
toutes les images contenues dans
un journal télévisé, dans un magazine d'information, dans une
séquence météo, dans un documentaire, et aussi les images sur
Internet.
images radiophoniques
pour qui sont faites ces images,
comment elles sont produites, construites, reçues,
leurs fonctions,
les rapports entre les images,
les textes et les sons,
la législation,
le marché économique des photos de presse...
Un cédérom
"Les Unes des quotidiens de l'Union"
Les enseignants inscrits ont reçu, en complément de l'habituel "Dossier
pédagogique", un cédérom intitulé "Les Unes
des quotidiens de l'Union".
Ce document présentait les Unes
des cinq quotidiens d'information générales et politiques les plus
vendus dans les quinze pays de l'Union européenne.

The Sun, The Daily Mail, The Daily
Mirror, The Daily Express, The News of the World.
A remarquer :
la date de création - (âge du Times, rapport date du Mirror et crétion
du Labour Party, Independent récent...) ;
les propriétaires (les mêmes pour le Times et le Sun, les News of the
World : explication de sa "tabloïdisation" ?) ;
le tirage (même en baisse, rien à voir avec la France : le Monde et
le Figaro dépassent rarement les 500,000)
toujours se rappeler l'influence : prestige du Times, fort tirage des tabloids, force
du FT dans les milieux financiers,...

tall tales - make good fodder for a fun writing activity with students in grades
3 and up. Included: Thirty-five actual tabloid headlines to motivate writing! (Grades
3-12)
THE
BRITISH PRESS IS...
D'après un document proposé
par Dominique Sipière à un stage à Amiens en 199? - about the
British Press...
The Times is read by people who
run the country.
The Financial Times is read by people who own the country.
The Daily Mail is read by the wives of people who own and run the country.
The Mirror is read by people who think they should run the country.
The Morning Star (a rather confidential communist sheet) is read by people who think
another country should run the country.
the Express is read by people who think the country should be run as it was.
The Telegraph is read by people who think it still is.
The Sun is read by people who don't care who runs the country as long as they have
big boobs.
MIND
SIR MURDOCH !
Noter importance des propriétaires
de journaux en GB.
On ne peut échapper à Robert Murdoch. Born in Australia in 1931, now
a US citizen, he owns News International and half of the satellite television company
BSkyB.
The Sun (3,713,000)
The Times (787,000)
News of the World (4,334,000)
The Sunday Times (1,354,000)
Il vient de déclarer qu'il mettrait tous les moyens qu'il a à sa disposition
(et l'on voit s'ils sont nombreux) pour lutter contre l'introduction de la monnaie
unique au RU.
Tony Blair ne peut qu'être ennuyé qu'un tel pouvoir se mette en travers
de son chemin vers l'euro, déjà bien cahotique.
En tout cas, lors de l'analyse d'un article de l'un de ses journaux, surtout à
portée européenne, toujours garder ce fait dans un coin de sa tête.

une copie mal composée, un mastic ou un bourdon oublié, deux cols inversées
au montage, une morasse illisible..."
