The theoretical frame of the study is set by Michel Foucault's concept of biopolitics, as well as the propaganda model of Edward Herman and Noam Chomsky. To collect and analyze empirical data, the methods of computational linguistics and the method of identifying contextual ideologemes were applied. The research materials were the texts of independent media (Le Figaro, Le Monde, Le Parisien), identified using the keywords “pandemic” and “COVID-19” during the four waves of the pandemic (from January 2020 to March 2022). A total of 29,584 Le Figaro articles, 22,446 Le Monde articles, and 6,402 Le Parisien articles were used in the research. The purpose of the research is to analyze the strategies for including the French media in the biopolitical practices of propaganda and public education on the example of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of the research, it turned out that the studied media during the pandemic were integrated both into general information campaigns and into biopolitical education and propaganda campaigns. Two scenarios for organizing media discourse during the pandemic of COVID-19 were identified, determined by target groups and media tasks. The first scenario actively involves educational and propaganda tools to promote state biopolitical goals. The second scenario integrates informing readers about the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures used by the authorities for biopolitical control, with the presentation of the hierarchies of responsible persons/ institutions (within the state biopolitics). It is concluded that the participation of French independent media in the active promotion of biopolitical programs indicates their close connection with the actors and subjects of biopolitics - the state or business representatives.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">В биополитическом русле анализируется публикационная деятельность французских медиа во время пандемии COVID-19. Теоретические координаты исследования заданы концепцией биополитики Мишеля Фуко, а также моделью пропаганды Эдварда Хермана и Ноама Хомского. Для сбора и анализа эмпирических данных использовались методы компьютерной лингвистики и методика идентификации контекстуальных идеологем. В качестве материалов исследования выступили тексты независимых медиа (Le Figaro, Le Monde, Le Parisien), идентифицированные по ключевым словам «пандемия» и «COVID-19» в течение четырех волн пандемии (с января 2020 г. по март 2022 г.). Всего использовано 29 584 статьи Le Figaro, 22 446 статей Le Monde и 6402 статьи Le Parisien. Цель исследования - выявить стратегии включения французских СМИ в биополитические практики пропаганды и просвещения во время пандемии COVID-19. Установлено, что изучаемые медиа были интегрированы как в общие информационные кампании, так и в кампании по биополитическому просвещению и пропаганде. Идентифицированы два сценария организации медийного дискурса, детерминированные целевыми группами и задачами медиа. Первый - активно использует просветительские и пропагандистские инструменты для продвижения государственных биополитических задач. Второй - интегрирует информирование читателей о пандемии COVID-19 и мерах, используемых властью для биополитического контроля, с представлением иерархий ответственных лиц и институтов (в рамках государственной биополитики). Таким образом, участие независимых медиа Франции в активном продвижении биополитических программ свидетельствует об их тесной связи с акторами и субъектами биополитики - государством или представителями бизнеса.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>biopolitics</kwd><kwd>ideologeme</kwd><kwd>propaganda</kwd><kwd>Le Figaro</kwd><kwd>Le Monde</kwd><kwd>Le Parisien</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>идеологема</kwd><kwd>пропаганда</kwd><kwd>Le Figaro</kwd><kwd>Le Monde</kwd><kwd>Le Parisien</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="en">The study has been supported by the Russian Science Foundation (project no. 22-28-00015).</funding-statement><funding-statement xml:lang="ru">Исследование выполнено за счет гранта Российского научного фонда № 22-28-00015.</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Abdeslam, A.A.
