Abstract

What mechanisms of power are crouched in the media scandal? Are there direct links between scandal, power and the mass media? To what extent do the media contribute to configure, reveal and propagate what is called 'scandal'? Does public opinion have to do with the shaping of the scandal, or is it just a media ploy? Are there events that, by their very nature, can be classified as scandalous? Is the scandal inherent in the media? What social reaches has the mediated scandal?
