Nuit Debout, “political UFO”, is a protean movement that articulates in a new way in France an occupation of the canvas and an occupation of the squares. Between the production of speeches by Internet users and the reporting of the press, the question arises of the contributions of these media to the creation and definition of the Nuit Debout event. The work presented here is based on the comparison of three corpora from the daily national press on the one hand, and digital social networks on the other hand, from 31 March to 31 May 2016. The lexicometric analyses (Reinert method, Iramuteq) carried out on these contents allowed us to detach the specific reports from these media at the Nuit Debout event. Thus, while the daily national press contextualizes the movement by bringing it closer to national socio-political news, Twitter content carried by identifiable communities crystallizes on controversies with distinct temporalities. Finally, the Facebook corpus shows us a focus on the societal debates at the origin of the movement and its evolution.
