Abstract
The study of the media has to be considered political, economical and a social context in which they operate. Algeria as it is the case in this paper, and after many years of insecurity and political instability appears now to be stabilizing. Algerians are gradually resuming a normal and peaceful life. Institutions are also recovering and functioning in accordance with policies of reconciliation and concordia law initiated by President Abdelaziz Bouteflika since assumed power in 1999. Thus, the Algerian media and the press has managed to make a number of tangible and qualitative advances, following the adoption of the April 1990 information bill. However, almost 17 years after the 1990 information code, media reform projects are still frozen.
