Qui influence qui ? Avec quels résultats ? Difficile de répondre à ces questions toujours sujettes à débat. La lecture de textes classiques proposée ici, enrichie de travaux plus récents, met de l'ordre dans ce dédale en montrant que toute approche sur la réception doit situer son objet dans une triple dimension : l'individu ou le collectif, l'influence du média ou celle du consommateur, le rôle du texte ou celui du dispositif.

This article considers the consequences for citizens and consumers of the changing regulatory regime in Western democracies, from ‗command-and-control ‘ government to discursive, multi-stakeholder governance, focusing on the case of media and communications regulation in the UK. The Office of Communications (Ofcom), instituted in 2003, has the general duty to further the interests of citizens and consumers, interests it tends to align through the singular notion of the citizen-consumer. Just what is meant by this term, and whether it adequately captures the needs of citizens in a democracy or subordinates them to those of consumers, has been subject to much contestation, particularly from civil society groups, as well as being the focus of some soul-searching within the regulator itself.
