This article intents to investigate the recent hibrydation between Journalism and Propaganda. We will go back to the discussion between the two Social Communication working fields. We will go back to the questions that arise on war historic context. In this case, the analysis will recover upon the US invasion in Iraq in 2003 and its coverage by the international media. If, in one hand, in peace time, it is difficult to see and to realize the interdependence between Journalism and Ideological Propaganda, on other hand, in the war time these relations become themselves pretty clear. Our hypothesis is that, in contemporary communication, the actual war (material, termodynamical) is duplicated by the “semiotic war” (immaterial, informational).
