Proměny novinářské etiky – Moravec Václav (2020)

Today's journalists encounter a number of ethically questionable situations and phenomena in their work, which can affect both the performance of their profession and the texts or programs they create. Invasion of privacy, the phenomenon of turbonews, so-called checkbook journalism, deception, or incorrect reporting on the latest medical discoveries are just some of them. University educator and journalist Václav Moravec presents journalistic ethics as part of applied ethics in his monograph and analyzes ethically problematic areas of journalists' activities. He also focuses on various forms of self-regulation in journalism, examining their origins and development as well as the stages of journalistic ethics in the Czech Republic after 1989. Why is the Czech Republic falling in the media freedom rankings compiled by Reporters Without Borders? When did the oligarchization of media in the Czech Republic begin, and what impact does it have on journalism? What are the challenges of the ethics of converging news media? These questions are also addressed in the first comprehensive book on journalistic ethics in the Czech language.
