Summary/Abstract: The present paper is particularly interested in analyzing the role of mass media (if a legitimate one!) in “teaching” the “lesson” of democracy, for which the exam is only passed with suffering and patience. Who invested mass media with this noble mission, what is the recognized profile of the teacher-authority bearer in this field of communication? With what strategies (arguments, rules, finalities and so on) does one stand at the negotiating table on the seductive, yet so thorny topic of democracy?
