La semaine africaine pendant la deuxième expérience démocratique au Congo-Brazzaville : un traitement non partisan

The wind of democratisation which blew in Africa in 1990 involved a democratic opening in Congo-Brazzaville. One of its consequences was the relative freedom found in the world of the press which knew an explosion of the titles then. It was one period of great political effervescence characterized by: the sovereign national conference (1990-1991), the period of transition (1991-1992) followed by the period post-conference (1992-1997). This great political effervescence which characterized this period (1990-1997), often qualified of second democratic experiment after that Congo knew between 1957 and 1963, had involved in its turn a great media activism in the Congolese written press. The various existing newspapers or which came out owing to the democratic opening, accompanied this period by submerging the Congolese public by articles more or less in favour on political information. However, according to the observers of this press, the African week, object of our study, is the only newspaper to be itself comprised in manner not well-wisher. The thesis that we support consists in saying that the African Week displayed a behavior nonin favour in the political data processing. In other words it is a question of showing through the quantitative and qualitative approaches, the behavior nonin favour of which it made watch in the political data processing in Congo between 1990 and 1997.
