description This article analyses some metalinguistic comments posted by users on seven Belgian news websites in French. Comments are a space the public uses to express its criticisms of and views about journalists: we propose here an approach to social speech concerning journalists’ language. Selected via three systematic requests (on belgicisme, anglicisme and langue française), our examples show that web users react to different types of “mistakes” and in teract about them, but also present journalists as “inadequate models”. Finally, we suggest that ther e is an affiliation between online news comments and traditional columns on language usage: even thou gh it is a more open space for discussion, online comments are shown to uphold purist discourse w ith regard to language in the media.
