| Descripción: | Abstract: The Vietnam War occurred at a time of considerable internal disputation over the role and nature of news within the Australian Broadcasting Commission (ABC) and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) which had its origins in the competing and contrasting values of two groups of professional journalists. In both organizations the traditional criteria for defining and reporting news came under challenge from the new and apparently less constrained field of television current affairs. Each vied for organizational priority. In important respects this mirrored the breakdown in journalistic consensus which was occurring in liberal democratic societies worldwide over attitudes to authority and official sources and reporting of widespread social protest. The period of ``high modernism'' in journalism was ending. This paper examines aspects of the coverage of Vietnam by the ABC and CBC within this organizational climate. Résumé: La guerre du Vietnam a coöncidé avec une période de disputes internes considérables au sein du Australian Broadcasting Commission (ABC) et du côté anglophone de la Société Radio-Canada (SRC), sur le rôle et la nature des nouvelles. Ces disputes ont eu leurs origines dans les valeurs contrastantes et concurrentielles de deux groupes de journalistes professionnels. Dans chaque organisation, les critères traditionnels pour définir et présenter les nouvelles s'affrontèrent au nouveau domaine apparemment moins contraignant de l'actualité télévisuelle. Chaque groupe convoitait la position dominante. À bien des égards, cette situation reflétait, parmi les démocraties libérales du monde, la fin d'une entente journalistique sur quel point de vue prendre envers, par exemple, l'autorité, les sources officielles et les nombreuses protestations sociales. La période de "haute modernité" en journalisme tirait à sa fin. Cet article examine des aspects de reportages faits par le ABC et la SRC sur la guerre du Vietnam en tenant compte de ce climat organisationnel. |
