Abstract EN
Through this article, we are going to highlight the impact of the peculiarities of the political-economic environment in Algeria on freedom of media.
The rentier nature of the state in Algeria directly affects the level of press freedom in two ways: politically, the fact that the rentier states are characterized by reducing the margin of political participation and public freedoms.
Economically, the rentier nature of the state weakens the market and its mechanisms, which reduces the opportunities for independent financing of the media and allows pressure on them to use political-economic mechanisms: such as the state's monopoly on the advertising, printing and distribution market, so the private press establishment remains in a state of subordination to the case, which imposes on it a number of concessions and reduces the importance of Legal guarantees of freedom of media.
