“…It refers to witnessing, currently considered not only in the historiographical and legal meanings, but mostly from the communication and media perspectives (ELLIS, 2000;PEETERS, 2001;PINCHEVSKI, 2009a;PINCHEVSKI, 2009b). In a seminal work, Ellis (2000) argues that, due to audiovisual technologies and live television broadcasts, witnessing became a privileged place to see the world beyond our special circumscription: [...] to treat the audio-visual as a form of witness is to realize that it offers a distinct, and new, modality of experience.…”

The text discusses the televised staging of testimony in the Profissão Repórter program, displayed by TV Globo. In the light of the second edition of the program on the closure of Jardim Gramacho landfill in the city of Duque de Caxias (RJ) in 2012, we analyze the testimonial place occupied by reporters and subjects entangled in this narrative. To do so, we start from the propositions of studies known as media witnessing, especially those interested in the textual mediation of testimony. Then we discuss the staging as part of television regime of visibility, highlighting strategies and distinctive characteristic rituals of the object itself. Finally, we examine the staged aspect of the witnessing on television, which is revealed, at the end, governed by the logic of insertion in scene by that filming, and less by the opening of television instance to the mise en scène of subjects.

“…Les relations médiasadministration se dessineront différemment pendant les trois moments de la crise : les périodes de prévention ou de vigilance, de l'intervention ou de crise, ou de l'après crise ou de la récupération (et du retour d'expérience). Dans une approche de communication stratégique, ces trois moments sont à la fois distingués et intégrés dans des démarches de communication spécifiques (Frosh, 2009).…”

Les moments de crise sont riches d'enseignements quant aux problèmes de collaboration entre administrations et médias, car toute crise est d'abord une crise d'information. Les autorités se trouvent empêtrées dans un réseau d'obligations contradictoires, appelées à collaborer avec les médias, partenaires incontournables pour informer et cadrer la catastrophe. Si la communication de crise obéit à des contraintes particulières, elle se construit en prolongement des régimes « hors crise ». Il convient de prolonger l'analyse des régimes de communication de crise à la période de vigilance médiatique afin de cerner les contours et enjeux des régimes informationnels dans lesquels elle se replace. Mots-clés Administration publique, gestion de crise, médias, régime informationnel, Société du risque.

“…Contemporary media technologies provide witnesses more outlets for addressing their predicament than ever before, and to increasingly wider audiences, making the audiences themselves the ultimate witnesses of events. Thus, according to this perspective, we are both testimony consumers, through mass media, and at the same time testimony producers, through mobile media technology (Frosh & Pinchevski, 2009b;Reading, 2009). In this sense media witnessing can be described as an integrated field of practice where various agents of witnessing compete over the audience's attention and recognition.…”

“…And if on the frontline of asymmetric conflicts might makes right, on the media front it is often the case that might makes blight. In this article we employ the theoretical framework of media witnessing (Ashuri & Pinchevski, 2009;Frosh & Pinchevski, 2009a, 2009b to analyze the role of media in asymmetric conflict. As a case study we consider the clashes that took place in April 2002 between Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Palestinian fighters in the Jenin refugee camp.…”

This paper aims to demonstrate the relevance of media witnessing -the witnessing performed in, by, and through the media -in situations of asymmetric conflict. The expansion of media technologies has brought new opportunities for both individuals and organizations to bear witness to events and broadcast their reports to increasingly wider audiences. Practices of media witnessing have become crucial in situations of asymmetric conflict, where the battle for public opinion brings into play different resources than those utilized on conventional battlegrounds. We describe media witnessing as a field in which various forces, resources, and agents compete for recognition by media audiences. We provide a framework for analysis and apply it to two documentary films produced shortly after the clashes between the Israeli army and Palestinian forces in the Jenin refugee camp in April 2002. We conclude with a discussion of the significance of media witnessing in the context of contemporary asymmetric conflicts.
