N2 - This study emphasizes the significance of a functional distinction between two categories of journalistic referents: the ‘sources’ who are at the origin of the information and the ‘voices’ who react to the news. Drawing examples from the French press coverage of the Second Intifada, the paper analyzes the problems raised by fallacious shifts from the role of source to that of voice and vice-versa. It thus demonstrates the importance of such categorization for the journalists and their public.
