In the thousand-channel universe, politicians must find innovative
ways to reach citizens via television. Viewership for news and
current affairs television programs has dropped dramatically.
Meanwhile, the rise of programming that blends information with
entertainment - infotainment - on French Canadian television has
provided new opportunities for today's politicians. Breaking News?
traces the development of infotainment and exposes the impact of
these kinds of programs on modern political communication. Though
not without its controversies, infotainment ultimately makes a
positive contribution to democratic life by piquing the audience's
interest in public affairs and motivating it to pay more attention
to political news in general.
