The goal of this research is to explore and determine the constitution of a journalistic subfield and to therefore analyze the evolutions between the political and the journalistic fields through 3 levels of analysis : the constitution of the subfield of the celebrity press, the analysis of the (men and women) politicians’ media coverage and the ordinary reception that might come along, in order to show the relative (social) variety of their readers and their producers. This dissertation considers and discusses widely studied questions as the logics of the political order maintaining, the structural subordination of the journalistic field to the political field, the ordinary politicization, or even the “crisis of the representative democracy”. This study aims to show that : first, the media coverage of politicians is not new, but it has taken a particular shape since 2000 ; second, there is an ideological content which longs to reproduce social and political order, in a socially differentiated way (each magazine is adjusted to its specific readership) ; third, the importance given to the coverage depends on each politician’s political position ; and fourth, the readership of these magazines are relatively socially spread among popular and middle classes, and therefore, they declare different readings depending on their social position. In order to achieve these arguments, this research is based on : a work of archives on celebrity magazines since 1945 ; a content analysis on the corpus (Closer, France Dimanche, Gala, Paris Match, Point de Vue, Public et Voici) ; and deep AFC statistical objectification. In a lesser way, an ethnographic approach is taken into account (semi-directive interviews, observations and focus groups).
