L\u2019Association canadienne des journalistes (ACJ) s\u2019oppose avec v\u00e9h\u00e9mence aux r\u00e9centes modifications propos\u00e9es par le D\u00e9partement de la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 int\u00e9rieure des \u00c9tats-Unis, qui limiteraient consid\u00e9rablement la capacit\u00e9 des journalistes canadiens \u00e0 vivre et \u00e0 travailler aux \u00c9tats-Unis.<\/p>\n

Ce n\u2019est pas la premi\u00e8re fois qu\u2019une telle proposition a \u00e9t\u00e9 formul\u00e9e<\/a>. Sous la derni\u00e8re administration de Donald Trump, des modifications avaient \u00e9t\u00e9 propos\u00e9es aux visas I, limitant ainsi la dur\u00e9e du s\u00e9jour et du travail des journalistes \u00e9trangers aux \u00c9tats-Unis. \u00c0 l\u2019\u00e9poque, l\u2019ACJ et plusieurs agences de presse, dont CBC\/Radio-Canada, CTV News et le Toronto Star, avaient sign\u00e9 une d\u00e9claration commune<\/a> demandant le retrait de la proposition.<\/p>\n

Le D\u00e9partement de la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 int\u00e9rieure de l\u2019ancien pr\u00e9sident Joe Biden a retir\u00e9 la proposition en 2021<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Une p\u00e9riode de consultation publique sur la proposition renouvel\u00e9e se termine plus tard ce mois-ci.<\/p>\n

\u00ab Cette proposition constitue une attaque frontale contre la presse \u00bb, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 Brent Jolly, pr\u00e9sident de l\u2019ACJ. \u00ab Si ce plan est mis en \u0153uvre, les professionnels des m\u00e9dias du Canada et du monde entier ne pourront pas subvenir \u00e0 leurs besoins fondamentaux, comme se loger ou ouvrir un compte bancaire, lorsqu’ils travaillent aux \u00c9tats-Unis. Ce plan contourne la surveillance ind\u00e9pendante essentielle de la nation la plus puissante du monde en rendant quasiment impossible pour les journalistes d’agences de presse \u00e9trang\u00e8res de travailler pendant une p\u00e9riode prolong\u00e9e aux \u00c9tats-Unis. \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div>
D\u00e9claration commune concernant les restrictions propos\u00e9es sur les visas de journalistes \u00e9trangers aux \u00c9tats-Unis<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
Nous, soussign\u00e9s, repr\u00e9sentant de grands m\u00e9dias audiovisuels et num\u00e9riques, des<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
organes d\u2019information et de la presse \u00e9crite, ainsi que des associations de journalistes du monde entier, demandons au gouvernement am\u00e9ricain de retirer sa r\u00e9cente proposition visant \u00e0 modifier le programme de visas I pour les journalistes \u00e9trangers.<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
Depuis des dizaines d\u2019ann\u00e9es, selon ce r\u00e9gime, les journalistes \u00e9trangers \u00e9taient autoris\u00e9s \u00e0 s\u00e9journer et \u00e0 travailler jusqu\u2019\u00e0 cinq ans sur le sol am\u00e9ricain. Ils \u00e9taient ainsi en mesure de rendre fid\u00e8lement compte de l\u2019actualit\u00e9 des \u00c9tats-Unis, notamment des nouvelles de derni\u00e8re minute.<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
C\u2019est en passant des ann\u00e9es sur le terrain, et non juste quelques mois, que les journalistes peuvent construire des r\u00e9seaux de confiance, bien conna\u00eetre l\u2019Am\u00e9rique et en expliquer les multiples facettes \u00e0 leurs publics. Cette immersion r\u00e9pond \u00e0 un int\u00e9r\u00eat fondamental des \u00c9tats-Unis : s\u2019assurer que leurs politiques, leur culture et leur leadership sont pr\u00e9sent\u00e9s avec clart\u00e9 et pr\u00e9cision \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9tranger, en diff\u00e9rentes langues.<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
La proposition visant \u00e0 limiter \u00e0 240 jours les visas utilis\u00e9s par les journalistes \u00e9trangers pour travailler et vivre aux \u00c9tats-Unis \u00e9branlerait ce syst\u00e8me, qui a pourtant fait ses preuves. Elle cr\u00e9erait de surcro\u00eet une grande incertitude pour les correspondants et leurs familles, et r\u00e9duirait la quantit\u00e9 et la qualit\u00e9 des informations en provenance des \u00c9tats-Unis.<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
Les pays \u00e9trangers risquent donc d\u2019\u00eatre moins bien inform\u00e9s de l\u2019actualit\u00e9 am\u00e9ricaine. Les nations rivales et les puissants adversaires des \u00c9tats-Unis ne tarderont pas \u00e0 combler le vide ainsi cr\u00e9\u00e9 en proposant des r\u00e9cits qui r\u00e9pondront avant tout \u00e0 leurs propres int\u00e9r\u00eats, au d\u00e9triment de la v\u00e9rit\u00e9.<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
Nous reconnaissons l\u2019importance de la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 nationale et de l\u2019int\u00e9grit\u00e9 des visas, mais les restrictions propos\u00e9es n\u2019y changeront rien. Le r\u00e9gime actuel des visas I pose d\u00e9j\u00e0 un cadre strict en mati\u00e8re de responsabilit\u00e9, de transparence et de conformit\u00e9 : chaque visa est en effet accord\u00e9 \u00e0 un journaliste donn\u00e9 et \u00e0 son employeur. Restreindre les conditions d\u2019octroi de ces visas ne renforcera pas la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 et risque au contraire de rendre la r\u00e9alit\u00e9 am\u00e9ricaine moins accessible et plus difficilement compr\u00e9hensible \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9tranger, y compris pour des \u00e9v\u00e8nements tels<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
que les Jeux Olympiques et les \u00e9lections nationales.<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
Les \u00c9tats-Unis ont toujours d\u00e9fendu l\u2019ouverture, la libert\u00e9 d\u2019expression, l\u2019ind\u00e9pendance et le dynamisme de la presse. En restreignant l\u2019acc\u00e8s des m\u00e9dias \u00e9trangers \u00e0 leur territoire, ils risquent de dilapider ce pr\u00e9cieux h\u00e9ritage et d\u2019imiter des pays o\u00f9 la libert\u00e9 de la presse est quasiment \u00e9teinte, comme la Russie et la Chine. Au lieu de renforcer la position de l\u2019Am\u00e9rique dans le monde, cette \u00e9volution risque au contraire de la fragiliser.<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
Nous demandons donc instamment \u00e0 l\u2019administration am\u00e9ricaine de maintenir le r\u00e9gime actuel des visas I, qui permet aux \u00c9tats-Unis de projeter leur force, leur cr\u00e9dibilit\u00e9 et leur leadership dans le monde entier.<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
Nous sommes \u00e9galement pr\u00eats \u00e0 poursuivre le dialogue avec les autorit\u00e9s<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
am\u00e9ricaines pour identifier le meilleur moyen d\u2019atteindre ces objectifs communs.<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
