Résumé
Cette communication porte sur la position et le rôle particuliers des médias de la communication au sein de l’idéal démocratique. Elle débute par l’étude du modèle avancé par Habermas. Il s’agit d’un modèle basé sur les principes libertaires sur lesquels sont fondés les sociétés occidentales. Cet article explore les contrastes entre cette orientation libertaire et les autres théories des médias, dans le but d’établir le rôle idéal de ces derniers. Pour ce faire, cette communication analyse la position des médias dans le cadre des ambitions fixées par le Nouveau partenariat pour le développement africain (NEPAD). Cet article entreprend ensuite d’identifier la responsabilité des médias dans la création des problèmes généralement identifiés par les dirigeants africains. Il comporte également une critique du rôle assigné aux médias dans le cadre de la poursuite du développement.
