Journalisme narratif : des enjeux contextuels à la poétique du récit

Abstract

As a hybrid model halfway between journalism and literature, narrative journalism lies at the heart of a complex web of ethical, economic and professional issues – notably – that weigh on its poetics. This paper first explores the inescapable entanglement of these different kinds of issues. It then illustrates, through a few examples, how this complex network gives rise to innovations in the narrative form. These innovations aim at creating a reading experience close to the experience of fiction reading while reaffirming the nonfiction status of the narrative, at attracting readers but also at gaining their loyalty, at constructing a professional figure as both a storyteller and a journalist.
