Abstract

When we talk about professional, i.e deontological standards and their real practice in the Macedonian journalism and media, viewed from an ethical aspect, a general conclusion can be conducted that it is very hard to be applied and practiced what is, for example, a main democratic characteristic in democratic society – freedom of speech, as one of the central rights, from which existence, or non-existence greatly depends the accomplishment of the other rights, respectively, the pre-condition for enjoyment of many rights and freedoms enshrined in the European Convention on Human Rights. Especially if taking into account the recent "shocks" in our media space. The text deals with the ethical analysis of the main causes for this situation of media space in R. Macedonia, trying to answer the question "what kind of ethics and ethical behavior is needed" as a rehabilitation and future preventive in circumstances when there is a general freedom of speech, but no freedom of thought, i.e when there is a freedom of speech, but there is no, it does not exist, a culture of expression and listening. In addition to the latter, and the ranking of Macedonia on the 94th place in the last report of Reporters without borders.
