This article focuses on the prioritization of television news in
Congoin a context marked by the liberation of the media field and on the
other hand, by the will of the Government to keep a stranglehold on the
media sector. It is based on a corpus made up of 6 summaries and 6
current affairs conductors from 2015 to 2017 from the Congo TV and
DRTV channels. Our investigations show that Congo TV favors
presidential and government events, while DRTV aligns itself with the
territory of proximity with a multi-thematic tendency. These results are
justified by the television environment under state influence in Congo.
