Postmoderna kriza novinarstva i povratak etičkog subjekta u njemu

Abstract

The postmodern crisis of journalism, namely the subject in journalism, which has so far been based on the new age belief about the possibilities of seeing the world, the sovereign disposition of truth, of rational distribution of values , as well as the freedom, today is seen as a collapse of the ideology of an autonomous journalist. But at the same time, contrary to the discussions that ascertain the dying of journalism and pessimistic forecast of its end, it can be concluded that every crisis contains a positive option, i.e. that “the end must not be understood only as a lack of perspective”, but primarily as an opportunity of a rebirth of journalism. Thus, the revival should be expressed through attempts to establish new foundations of a journalist as an ethical and responsible person looking for a way out of the crisis of the human person, because the person is “the tip where all the roads of the world start.” Setting the “ethical building” in journalistic reporting means that the journalist is not alone an individual, but a person who becomes as such in their personal relationship with another man. Restoring the journalist as an ethical subject in journalism would allow the recognition of identity and future (development) of profession.
