This paper examines the social, cultural and political factors that favor or disrupt deep geothermal energy projects in Alsace. The research was conducted in the Risk Governance package of the H2020 DESTRESS program, aimed at comparing public perceptions of deep geothermal energy in different contexts. The French case studies focus on two different contexts: one in Northern Alsace, where geothermal energy is fairly well accepted, and another in the Eurometropolis of Strasbourg, where some projects have raised substantial controversy. Several conceptual tools are used to understand variations in the public perceptions of geothermal projects. First, the distinction between "locally anchored" projects and "unbound" or exogenous projects account for the way these projects take shape, based on dialog or facilitated by a favorable economic and national political context, ignoring local specificities. Second, the concepts of social identity and social worlds allow us to yield insights into the acceptability of a project on a more sociological and cultural level, instead of adopting a limited risk perception focus. By considering the social and cultural contexts, we can better explain the weight that opponents place in their discourses on induced risks, local politics, or environmental issues during a technoscientific controversy. This ultimately leads us to underline the limitations of the communication models for project governance that are chiefly aimed at reassuring the local population.

Conflicto armado e información: una reflexión sobre las reglas de conducta profesional periodística que dicta el Acuerdo por la discreción ResumenEn este artículo se propone un análisis del texto del Acuerdo por la discreción firmado en 1999 por 32 directores de medios de comunicación para "elevar el nivel de calidad y responsabilidad en el cubrimiento y difusión de hechos violentos". Se analizan los factores que impiden que este Acuerdo produzca cambios efectivos en la prác-tica profesional informativa y se presenta un modelo (Lemieux, 2000) que tiene en cuenta las variables que influyen en la producción del discurso informativo mediático.Palabras clave: información, objetividad, periodista, medios de comunicación, contrato de información, modelo de la acción.

By examining the labels used to refer to the Colombian armed groups in news, this study analyses to what extent news incorporates the war communication 2 of the armed groups. The analysis of 452 news reports broadcast by national channels shows that most reports are written in a detached manner, suggesting the 'objectivity' of news reporting. Nonetheless, the qualitative analysis shows that this factual and descriptive style hides the subtle discursive bias of news. Thus it is concluded that Colombian media has contributed more to war than to peace building.

This study particularly focuses on messages disseminated through the media with the aim to impose a particular frame onto the conflict (Maltby, 2012). 58Naming the Combatants of the Colombian Armed Conflict in News Broadcasts... -Yeny SerranoNombrando a los combatientes del conflicto armado colombiano en los noticieros: el posicionamiento discursivo de periodistas ResumenMediante el examen de las etiquetas utilizadas para referirse a los grupos armados colombianos en las noticias, este estudio analiza en qué medida la comunicación de las noticias de la guerra incorpora a los grupos armados.
