An Evaluation of the Performances of Czech and Slovak Economies During the Transition Period

Öz

Ethical journalism or broadcasting is widely used terms by media institutions to improve their public credibility and increase their power on public or political institutions. Yet, due to economic, social or political concerns of media organisations, ethics are often twisted to be able to serve their political or financial interests. As a result of such ill-actions or ill-considerations media organisations have been gradually losing the trust of public in them. This article evaluates the relationship between media ethics and public credibility in them, and as a solution to the problem, it proposes setting up a new „Media Ethics Watch Committee‟ to improve better implementation of ethical standards in media organisations.

Piyasa Ekonomisine Geçiş Döneminde Çek ve Slovak Ekonomilerinin Genel Performansının Değerlendirilmesi

Öz

“Etiksel habercilik” terimi basılı, görsel ve işitsel medyanın kamuoyu üzerindeki etkilerini artırmak için sıkça kullandıkları kavramlar arasındadır. Ancak medya sektöründe yer alan kişi ve kurumların etik kurallara uyumlu yayıncılık yapmalarını çoğu zaman olumsuz etkileyen sosyal, ekonomik veya politik birçok faktörlerin devreye girebilmesi ile bu kurallara uyum sorunları sıkça yaşanabilmektedir. Diğer taraftan, medyada etiksel değerlerden uzaklaşma ile ortaya çıkan durum bu tür kurumların kamuoyu nezdindeki güvenilirlik derecelerini negatif olarak etkilediğinden ortaya çelişkili bir amaç-sonuç ilişkisi tablosu çıkabilmektedir. Bu yazı medyada etik kurallara uyumlu yayıncılık ile kamuoyunda güvenilirlik kazanma ilişkilerini irdelemekte ve medyada etiksel ilkelere uygun yayıncılığın teşvik edilebilmesi açısından bağımsız ve tarafsız bir „Medya Etiği Takip Kurulu‟ oluşturulmasını önermektedir.

Anahtar Kelimeler

• Medya Etiği, Etiksel Habercilik, Etiksel Gazetecilik, Haber Etiği, Etik.
