Description
Summary:The shipwreck of La Bourgogne , took place on the 4th of July in 1898 of the Newfoundland coast, was a very well covered maritim disaster. It appalled the French population which demonstrated generosity and solidarity towards the mourning families.

The bias to render intelligible the circonstances of the shipwreck while considering the stakes sourronding it, was taken. What is more, the articles, in their content and their format, are analysed to draw up the mediatic cover of the disaster. Finally, beyond the simple retranscription, the analysis focuses on nuancing and putting into context the collision of the ship, to identify the ins and outs of the conception of an emotional mediatic event as the shipwreck of La Bourgogne . Le naufrage de La Bourgogne , survenu le 4 juillet 1898 au large de Terre Neuve, fut une catastrophe maritime abondamment médiatisée. Suscitant une vague d’émotion au sein de la population française, cette dernière eut un élan de solidarité à l’égard des familles endeuillées. Au-delà de ces constatations exprimées par la presse, le but de ce mémoire fut de rassembler les divers articles produits en ...
