Crisis is the consequence of a disruption, the origin of which is external or internal; it is marked by disorder, instability and uncertainty and blocking and unblocking phases (Morin, 1976). In the field of politics, it is a “sudden rupture or an aggravation of a pre-existing political and security situation” (Mongin, 2014). Whether they are of a health, environmental, natural, social, economic, political and/or military nature, crises challenge journalistic practices, the positioning of media organisations, editorial productions and interactions between other key players. This symposium proposes to address these various situations through the lens of radio media, live media, attachment (Glevarec, 2017), as a source of daily support, and media in times of crisis. During this symposium, several questions will be posed: how do radio stations approach and deal with these contexts ? How does the media itself shift, act and interact during times of crisis ? In addition, this symposium will address these issues from the perspective of radio studies and compare their specific features and similarities to other forms of media. The approaches will be historic and contemporary, interdisciplinary in the human and social sciences and developed at the local, regional, national and international level.
