Résumé
Le Nouveau Partenariat pour le Développement de l’Afrique (NEPAD) est apparu ces dernières années comme un cadre de développement élaboré par l’Afrique pour le continent africain. Malgré son insistance sur le développement durable, la
gouvernance démocratique, l’intégration régionale et les stratégies de mise en oeuvre de ces projets, le défi majeur du NEPAD demeure toutefois la connaissance large des réalités du continent ainsi que la compréhension de son agenda et de ses initiatives. Cette étude préliminaire étudie la couverture du projet du NEPAD par la presse africaine, dans le but d’évaluer l’étendue et la nature de l’engagement des médias envers le Nepad. Sur la base de l’analyse du contenu de la couverture médiatique faite par les journaux africains et les sources d’informations, disponibles sur le portail d’informations en ligne Allafrica.com, cette étude fournit un aperçu de la couverture médiatique du NEPAD, de janvier à juillet 2005, dans un échantillon de pays africains choisis. Les résultats montrent que la couverture du NEPAD faite par les médias est établie sur une base évènementielle et élitiste, avec une très faible analyse critique des processus sous-tendant le cadre du NEPAD. De telles analyses montrent comment les médias africains informent et sollicitent l’implication du public vis-à-vis de cette initiative de développement établie à l’échelle du continent. Les implications de ces résultats sont commentées à travers des références au « journalisme africain ».
