Abstract

The research aims to analyze the discursive ethos of journalists working in press officer. The ethos is understood as the picture shown itself through discourse. The research part of a reflection on the changes in the world of journalists, which noted a number of changes in the professional market, this phenomenon has triggered significant changes on the professional identity of journalists. How to ensure some researchers, journalism is undergoing structural changes. On the other hand, there is an extension of the professional field in which gradually journalists start to act in extra-essays spaces playing the role of press and communications officer. However, the press and journalists have consolidated over the centuries as an institution linked to democratic principles, children of the Enlightenment, journalism and journalists have always had an ethos and an ideology linked to the public interest and social interest. In view of the change of habitus of professional journalists, this study intends to enter into a body of research not "standard-setting" on the professional identity of journalists. Thus, through in-depth interviews with six agents of this field, try to understand what is the image of themselves projected through discourse of journalists working in the press office. In addition, we use as method discourse analysis in the French line to analyze the interviews. As a theoretical approach we appropriate the field notions of habitus developed by Pierre Bourdieu, as well as employ the concept of discursive ethos prospects of Dominique Maingueneu and Ruth Amossy to mark out our argument.
