Resumo

The suppression of the ORTF (Office de Radiodiffusion et Télévision française) in 1974. The « libereting » reform, Sophie Bachmann. The suppression of the ORTF by the law of 7 August 1974 was practically unnoticed. That reform was nevertheless one of the most decisive steps in the development of French broadcasting. Preceded by social conflicts and by debates on the very principles of relations between the political leadership and the information media, it inverted the traditional missions of public service — first inform, then provide culture, finally entertain. The aim of the reform, a real upheaval compared to the previous situation, was to privilege entertainment.
