Dans les médias

Every week a rotating group of contributors joins host Marie-Louise Arsenault to form a magazine style program about the media itself. The show surveys the biggest headlines and then looks at how the press, advertising, and social networks frame those stories. It asks who benefits from the framing and how images influence our opinions. Rather than delivering a straight news recap, it analyzes presentation, tone, and context, inviting viewers to question what they see and why it matters. With a different guest each episode, the conversation travels through journalism ethics, platform bias, and the power of visual storytelling in today’s information ecosystem. The format blends interviews, short clips, and practical examples to illustrate how media shapes public discourse in real time. It aims to equip audiences with sharper media literacy without shouting down opposing views.

The program debuted in 2017 and is anchored by Marie-Louise Arsenault. It follows a magazine style format with a rotating panel of contributors, combining talk segments, brief clips, and on screen visuals to unpack media practice.

The show treats media literacy as its core lens, examining how journalism, advertising, and online platforms shape public perception. It looks beyond headlines to consider framing, sources, and the unseen choices behind what reaches viewers. Regular conversations tease apart sensational elements, fact checking, and the responsibility of media providers. By inviting guests with diverse perspectives, it models constructive critique rather than partisan shouting, inviting audiences to form their own informed judgments about the information in front of them.

Despite its timely premise the series has not been presented as a major awards contender. There are no widely reported nominations or wins associated with Dans les médias. Its impact is more diffuse, showing up in newsroom conversations, academic discussions about media literacy, and Canadian broadcast culture where viewers and critics reference its insights on how media shapes daily life.
