The trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard is worthy of an American series. Shot and broadcast live from Fairfax, Virginia, it attracts audiences, the curious and inquisitive, and inspires an unparalleled “media circus”. In this context, how can one write about this kind of spectacle test without falling into sensationalism? Columnist Yves Boisvert and judicial journalist Geneviève Garon attempted to respond.
” [Ce cirque] indicates a social current, the way Amber is described [en dit long]. “
Geneviève Caron, like Yves Boivert, believes we should look beyond the media hype generated by this trial between the two superstars. The journalist points out that this legal process benefits men in positions of power, who often leave early. Amber Heard’s way of ridiculing social media shows an explicit shrinkage in the achievements of the #MeToo movement. Yves Boivert recalled that the challenge to neutrality must remain intact even if the balance of public opinion leans towards Johnny Depp.
