« Our regimes are seen as democratic in the sense that power comes out of the ballot box after an open competition and where we live in a rule of law that recognizes and protects individual freedoms. Democracies are certainly largely unfinished. The representatives thus often feel abandoned by their statutory representatives, and the people, after the electoral moment, find themselves very little sovereign. »

Newspapers during the period found that they increased their sales when they published economic, social or demographic data on the state of the country or society. (p. 40-41) »
