The 24-hour news cycle is a term that denotes the incessant, day-long coverage of news that has become a standard in today’s media environment. This idea originated with the rise of cable TV channels dedicated exclusively to news, a trend that gained momentum with the notorious O.J. Simpson murder trial in the mid-1990s. The proliferation of online news outlets has further intensified this cycle, fostering a climate where news is continuously created and consumed, round the clock. This relentless rhythm has drawn criticism from industry professionals, such as journalists Bill Kovach and Tom Rosenstiel, who assert that the incessant need to churn out news has undermined traditional journalistic principles. They argue that the chase for audience engagement and corporate earnings has resulted in a decrease in vérification des faits^[1] and high-quality reporting, leading to a shift towards sensationalism, entertainment, and biased news. This phenomenon is also associated with notions like the CNN effect, the Feiler faster thesis, information overload, information pollution, and infotainment^[2].

Définitions des termes

1. ↑ Vérification des faits ( fact-checking ) La vérification des faits, procédure vitale dans le domaine du journalisme et du partage d'informations, sert à confirmer la véracité des déclarations, des allégations et des reportages. Ses origines remontent aux années 1850 et constituent une contre-mesure au journalisme sensationnaliste. Son évolution a été marquée par des entités telles que l'Associated Press, Ralph Pulitzer, Henry Luce et The New Yorker. La vérification des faits peut avoir lieu avant (ante hoc) ou après (post hoc) la publication d'informations, et de nombreuses organisations et plateformes médiatiques spécialisées se chargent de cette tâche. Dans l'arène politique, la vérification des faits joue un rôle crucial en décourageant les politiciens de diffuser de fausses informations et en influençant la perception et la confiance du public dans les déclarations politiques. Au-delà des cadres formels, la vérification des faits s'étend également aux environnements informels, les individus et la technologie contribuant à la validation des informations et à la détection des informations frauduleuses. Toutefois, le pouvoir de la vérification des faits à lui seul peut ne pas être suffisant pour lutter pleinement contre la désinformation, ce qui souligne la nécessité de l'intégrer dans les programmes d'enseignement.

2. ↑ infotainment. Infotainment, a fusion of information and entertainment that emerged in the 1980s, is a media genre that seeks to educate while entertaining. Often characterized by attractive visuals, sensationalism, and flashy graphics, infotainment can be found in a variety of formats, including television shows, radio programs, and social media posts. However, it often faces criticism for its lack of substantial informative content and its emphasis on trivial, celebrity-focused material. Despite these critiques, infotainment has a substantial impact on news and societal perceptions by turning serious topics into entertainment, thereby attracting a broader audience. Prominent infotainers such as Oprah Winfrey and Jon Stewart have blurred the boundaries between journalism and entertainment. The evolution of infotainment continues, particularly with the advent of social media platforms that enable users to create their own news and commentary.

Cycle d'information de 24 heures (Wikipedia)

Les Cycle d'information de 24 heures (ou 24/7 news cycle) is 24-hour investigation and reporting of news, concomitant with fast-paced lifestyles. The vast news resources available in recent decades have increased competition for audience and advertiser attention, prompting media providers to deliver the latest news in the most compelling manner in order to remain ahead of competitors. Television, radio, print, online and application mobile news media all have many suppliers that want to be relevant to their audiences and deliver news first.

A complete news cycle consists of the media reporting on some event, followed by the media reporting on public and other reactions to the earlier reports. The advent of 24-hour cable and satellite television news channels and, in more recent times, of news sources on the World Wide Web (including blogs), considerably shortened this process.
