Summary/Abstract: The social responsibility of journalists is the basic requirement of the professional journalistic work. However, it is necessary to assess it in an overall political, social and cultural context, to compare it with the journalists' value priorities and contemporary state of social values. In the last twenty years Slovak society has faced a lot of changes. These were also reflected in media – in a more or less responsible manner. The contribution analyses the state and the development of the social responsibility of media as well as the journalists' responsibility towards the public after 1998, with a special emphasis on the last five years.
