English
Instead of complaining about the success and hegemony of commercial audience ratings, one should contribute to the design of a different relationship with the “citizen-TV viewer”, built upon measurement devices, specific criteria, control and retaliation bodies. Different solutions are assessed, such as viewers’ associations, TV journals, traditional democratic representation. Theories of justice lead to a proposal combining a “civic quality agregated ratio”, a “civic label”, and an extension of the representation system for the regulation body, the “Conseil Supérieur de l’Audiovisuel”.
