«Les nouveaux chiens de garde» is the documentary by Gilles Balbastre and Yannick Kergoat (2012), with Arlette Chabot, Laurence Ferrari and David Pujadas, on DVD.
Part of the eponymous essay by Serge Halimi, it analyzes how the French media, far from acting as a counter-power, function as guardians of the established order. With statements from journalists and politicians, it shows the circulation of elites between political and media power and denounces a consensual discourse that deactivates social criticism.
Running time 104 minutes. Dolby Digital 2.0 sound in French and English; subtitles in English and French, and subtitles for the deaf in French. DVD region 0, widescreen format 1.78:1.
For viewers interested in critical analysis of the media and the relationships between journalism and power.
