To answer these questions, the author conducted a survey of "ordinary people" of a large ensemble HLM suburb of Bordeaux. Through observations and interviews, he portrayed an intimate relationship that people develop with popular media information. News
serve not only to form his opinion as a citizen, or to justify his political stances, far from it. He is also managing his anxiety about the vagaries of an uncertain existence, to find his place in the social hierarchy and make bearable his dominance condition, manage their married life and friendly, passing on values and worldviews to his children. Take seriously the interest for news items, sports pages people but also for certain economic and social problems, to better grasp all the social functions of news. Through the comments are made in public spaces or in private, it appears that class relations are expressed acutely, with special attention to issues of justice and fairness.
