SUMMARY
This panel's proposal aims at studying the link between the EU policy making and the media sphere. Most of the academic works dealing with media issues focus on the European Union coverage and its effects on public attitude (and votes). The journalists' role in policy making is less studied. Nonetheless, the journalists presence at the European level has already been taken account of. Other scholars insist on the permanent link and the ?synchrony? between European institutions and journalists. As a result, we would like to deepen those perspectives in order to question the relation between the European policies and the newsmaking of journalists. The core of our panel issue would be to work on those European Journalists and their role and involvement in the European public policy process. Professionalization of an EU journalists group ? One aim of this panel is to question the existence of a common European social world in which journalists belong to, and to analyze the reality of a EU journalists group. Are those journalists part of the field of Eurocracy? What is the history of the construction of this social group and how they distinguish themselves from other actor on the European level? How far do the practices remain national or are they europeanized? Thus we should question the existence of different paths of professionalization and degree of Europeanization of the different kind of journalism which focus on a specific European public policy. Journalists'role in the EU policy making : In this second axe, we want to question the European journalists' role in the EU policy making process. They not only take part of policy categories and identities shaping, but they also act as policy broker on European issues. We will welcome studies which question the practices of those journalists as intermediary of public policy.
