Los periodistas franceses según la embajada de EEUU

[…] Top French journalists are often products of the same elite schools as many French government leaders. These journalists do not necessarily regard their primary role as to check the power of government. Rather, many see themselves more as intellectuals, preferring to analyze events and influence readers more than to report events.

[…] The private sector media in France - print and broadcast - continues to be dominated by a small number of conglomerates, and all French media are more regulated and subjected to political and commercial pressures than are their American counterparts.

Es uno de los cables filtrados por WikiLeaks, el 07PARIS306. Aunque está disponible hace rato en el sitio de WL, Le Monde –que es el Publicador Residente de WL en Francia– no ha dicho ni mu. Acrimed se queja y Esta Casa, siguiendo una broma de PM* en el Obs, dice: Ceci n’est pas un cable de WikiLeaks.

Y, sí: claro que no todos los periodistas franceses son así.

¿Habrá cables sobre los Top Spanish journalists? Muero de curiosidad.
