Résumé Les soulèvements qui se sont déroulés en Tunisie du 17 décembre 2010 au 14 janvier 2011 montrent combien les media tunisiens ont occulté l'information à l'intérieur du pays. Sous l'ancien régime de Ben Ali, les media se tenaient loin des préoccupations et des réalités locales des citoyens. Cet article compare la couverture médiatique tunisienne pour les informations locales avant et après la révolution à travers le vécu de 16 correspondants locaux. La Tunisie compte 27 correspondants locaux employés par l'Agence de Presse de Tunis, seule agence publique ayant un réseau dans le pays depuis les années 1960. À travers une enquête qualitative menée auprès de ces correspondants, nous verrons comment les pratiques, les comportements et les discours ont évolué depuis janvier 2011.

Résumé anglais The uprisings that took place in Tunisia from 17th of December 2010 to 14 January 2011 show how the mainstream Tunisian media made a blackout on what was happening in the regions inside the country. This is how did the media system during the former Ben Ali's regime era used to deal with the real concerns of the citizens. The coverage of the local events was far from the rules of the proximity journalism which is based on journalistic practice that reflect the reality of the people and their daily life problems. This paper compare between the Tunisian media coverage of the local news before and after the revolution through the experience of 16 local correspondents out of 27 working for the Tunis Afrique Presse news agency, a public media the only news house to get a correspondents network in all the regions of Tunisia since the sixties of the last century. We conducted a qualitative survey among these correspondents asking about the local news agenda and the correspondents' choice of priorities to cover the news before and after January 2011. What changed in their practice, their behavior and their discourse? They said that censorship and self-censorship were overwhelming the way of covering the news in the regions and that the main role for the reporter is very limited. They were told what to cover and how. The local news agenda was linked to the politics and the local authorities activities. No criticism was admitted. The correspondents mentioned two essential fields for «safe media coverage» : Tourism and culture. Today, within the context of press freedom the correspondent feel themselves as the voice of voiceless people. The power of the media is challenging the political power which can no longer use the media for propaganda purposes by intervening in the correspondents work.
