Features of Expressive Journalism in Tunisian Media after the Revolution: An Exploratory Study of a Sample of Private Radio Stations

Abstract

This exploratory study aims to understand the changes that have occurred in the Tunisian media in the context of democratic transition. The study focuses on the paradigmatic shift that has occurred in the Tunisian media system, and the emergence of new actors such as experts and columnists. The study uses the concept of "expressive journalism" coined by Tunisian researcher Sadok Hammami, and analyzes the characteristics of this journalistic genre through a focus on a sample of radio talk shows that embody this type of journalism."
