They define themselves as “hybrid media”, “information relays”. Several Twitter accounts such as @CerfiaFR, @AlertesInfos et @Mediavenir have made it their specialty to publish almost 24 hours a day – without always referring to the initial source – news and videos gleaned elsewhere on the Internet and on social networks. “They will not produce anything but will just relay what they see elsewhere”, sums up Édouard Bouté, researcher in information and communication sciences at CERES at Sorbonne University.
