Résumé ?SUR LA VÉNALITÉ DU JOURNALISME FINANCIER ENTRE LES DEUX GUERRES, parJEAN-NOËL JEANNENEY La mauvaise réputation du journalisme financier, en France, entre les deux guerres, est pleinement justifiée. Une faune de petits maîtres chanteurs s'engraisse aux dépens des milieux de Bourse et de finances. D'autre part les agences et les journaux spécialisés vivent de publicité financière, déguisée sous forme rédactionnelle. La chronique financière de plusieurs journaux réputés, telle celle des Débats, est aussi secrètement subventionnée. La radio naissante tend à adopter les mêmes pratiques. La profession prospère des « distributeurs de publicité », sert de relais entre hommes d'affaires et gens de presse. Le système est très néfaste : non seulement les épargnants sont taxés lourdement, malgré eux et à leur insu, au profit de multiples parasites, mais ils sont continuellement trompés par la presse qu'ils croient impartiale. Surtout on constate une contagion fréquente du côté du journalisme politique, que tendent à contaminer les mécanismes très rodés de corruption qui se sont mis en place dans le domaine financier.

Résumé anglais ON THE VENALITY OF FINANCIAL JOURNALISM BETWEEN THE TWO WARS, by JEAN-NOEL JEANNENEY The poor reputation of financial journalism in France between the two wars is fully justified. A teeming mass of minor blackmailers thrived at the expense of those in stock exchange and financial circles. Apart from this, specialist agencies and newspapers lived off financial advertising, disguised in editorial form. The financial columns of several well-know newspapers, such as Débats, were likewise secretly subsidised. Radio, which was in its infancy, tended to adopt the same methods. The profession prospered at the hands of the « advertising distributors », and served as an intermediary between businessmen and the press. The system was extremely nefarious ; not only were savers heavily taxed, in spite of themselves and unbeknown to them, to the advantage of a multitude of parasites, but they were systematically misled by the press which they thought was impartial. Above all, it often infected political journalism which tended to be contaminated by the very well-tried machinery of corruption operating in the financial field.
