In recent years, there has been a growing concern in our country and internationally regarding the role of journalism and journalists in modern society. The fundamental question that is often posed is how far the limits of journalistic coverage extend and what impacts it has on the society it is called to serve.
At the same time, the power of the Media and journalists is continuously increasing. On the other hand, the changes that have occurred in the media landscape over the past few decades and the process of globalization have radically altered the conditions under which journalism is practiced, resulting in a significant reduction in journalists' autonomy.
This book seeks to contribute to a broader reflection on understanding the role of journalism by using two key examples: The first addresses the role and position of journalists and journalism in the modern and highly competitive communication environment. The second focuses on the role of journalists and the Media in critical situations.
The authors express their concerns regarding the negative impact of competition on journalistic ethics and practice. They note that the intense competition prevailing in the modern field of mass communication has led to the adoption of a new ethos within the journalistic community, as well as a deterioration of the content of news reporting.
