الكاريكاتير كخطاب إعلامي يشوه الواقع

Abstract EN

This article discusses the caricature which is a kind of media discourse whose expression is the cynical design.

The cartoonist is a journalist and an artist at the same time with the aim of distorting reality a deliberate manner.

It is also necessary to emphasize that the caricature as a kind has a character expression of opinion.

This is why the caricature is little used by the Arab press and the Algerian press in particular, especially when addressing political issues.

Leaders of Arab countries show less tolerance towards the media whose ironic expression is the content of discourse.

On the other hand, in democratic countries cartoonists enjoy a greater margin of freedom of expression, which explains the development of this kind of media discourse.
