Denis MUZET

Sociologist - University Paris

Born in 1951, Denis MUZET graduated from the Strasbourg Institute of Political Studies and to begin with, worked as Abraham MOLES’ assistant at the Institute of Social Psychology (University of Strasbourg). He then created the MÉDIASCOPIE Institute with the aim of developing an original method for measuring the reactions of television viewers in real time – the « Médiascopie » method -, which he applied to a large number of TV programs from 1983 onwards, as requested by their guests, business or political leaders. In 1997 he set up the Observatoire du Débat Public, a private and independent sociological monitoring body, which analyses the profound changes in French public opinion and representation through major topics of public debate. Teaching activities : “La société médiatique”, in the Master 2 “Political and Social Communication”, Political Science Department, University of Paris 1.
