D’après le Digital News Report 2024, 40% des Canadiens évitent souvent ou parfois de s’informer. Derrière cette fatigue informationnelle se trouvent différentes raisons comme l’accumulation de mauvaises nouvelles, leur quantité, leur piètre qualité et les émotions qu’elles nous font ressentir. Emilie Nicolas en parle avec la psychologue clinicienne, autrice et chroniqueuse Nathalie Plaat. Ensemble, elles analysent ce phénomène et s’interrogent sur la manière d’y faire face. En deuxième partie d’émission, on s’intéresse à la démocratisation de la psychologie et le rôle, parfois ambivalent, qu’elle joue dans l’espace public et l’espace médiatique. Université Laval’s “Centre d’études sur les médias” 2024 Digital News Report shows 40 per cent of Canadians often or sometimes stay away from the news. They’re doing it to avoid all the “bad” news: the sheer quantity of it, the poor quality of it, how it makes us feel, and how it piles up day after day. How do we deal with the seemingly never-ending bad-news cycle? Emilie Nicolas discusses this phenomenon with clinical psychologist, author and columnist Nathalie Plaat. In the second part of the show, Emilie and Nathalie look at the democratization of psychology, and the sometimes-ambivalent role it plays in both the public space and the media sphere.Animation : Emilie NicolasGénérique : Lucie Laumonier (Production), Caleb Thompson (Production technique), max collins (Coordination de production), Karyn Pugliese (Rédactrice en chef) Coanimation : Nathalie PlaatPour en savoir plus :Digital News Report 2024: Synthèse des données canadiennes — Centre d’étude sur les médiasChroniques de Nathalie Plaat — Le DevoirThe Rise of Therapy-Speak.
