This article contextualize and analyze the model of construction of journalistic identity in France, a model whose management of the space and the professional relations has been fluid and deeply pragmatic and to which the author denominates professionalisme du flou. The work also gives account of the plurality of speeches around the continuous process of construction and transformation of the identity of the professional group of journalists, and confronts the univocal and essentialist glance of journalism defended by the group, with a perspective that considers journalism as a “social practice”, one that is co-constructed by actors interconnected in the heart of an extended public space.

Keywords : Professional identity; journalism studies.
