Journalists in the interwarperiod : an identity crisis, Christian Delporte.
In the 1920s, journalism as a profession went through a deep identity crisis in France. The material problems generated by the First World War revealed a moral crisis with old roots. Giving up their free writer status, journalists wanted to consider themselves as intellectual workers. They adopted structures adapted to their new needs, and formed a union whose aim was vigorous ethical and material improvement. In 1935 they obtained a professional status unmatched in Europe, and in 1936 a professional identity card - both still make up the framework of the profession.
