Profils des youtubeurs cyberactivistes en Algérie

Abstract

The authors examine the use of YouTube by Algerian cyberactivists and attempt to draw a portrait of these content creators who have become sources of information, debate hosts, experts, political actors, and thought leaders online and who have gained significant standing in the media landscape and the arena of public discourse. For their study, they examined a hot topic taken up by Algerian YouTubers: the protest movement of February 22, 2019, a few months before the end of the election period in April 2019.
