Abstract
Legal limitations imposed by the Official Secrets Act 1978 and the Law Regulating the National Intelligence Center (CNI) from 2002 to journalists to report on the activities of the intelligence service (CESIDCNI) have not stopped since the arrival of democracy, the media report on their activities. It has been possible thanks to the various sources available to these professionals, much more numerous than they could think of a simple approach to the subject. A study of 265 relevant news published in the last 30 years permits to systematize all the information on the informants (who they are, their job status, etc.), knowing that their collaboration is legally prosecutable, has helped journalists to break the news.Downloads
