Ignacio Ramonet analyse la situation propre à la presse écrite, non seulement en France, mais aussi à travers le monde. Il analyse les causes externes (développement d’Internet, des blogs, des informations diffusées par SMS) et internes (concentration, urgence, bidonnage, asservissement au politique et économique, etc.) d’un phénomène qui, au final, met en danger les fondements même de la démocratie car "de la qualité de l’information dépend celle du débat citoyen." >>

" El quinto poder "
Ignacio Ramonet presents the Media Watch Global project and the reasons behind its creation: "Media Watch Global will act as an essential counterweight to the excessive power of the big media groups. It is needed because these groups, in providing news and information, impose the single logic of the market, and the single ideology of neoliberalism. Media Watch Global will be an international association, with the objective of exercising a collective responsibility, in the name of the higher interest of society and the right of citizens to be properly informed.". >>
