ТЕМА РЕЛИГИИ В КОНТЕКСТЕ НОРМАТИВНЫХ ТЕОРИЙ ПРЕССЫ
RELIGION THEME IN THE CONTEXT OF THE NORMATIVE THEORIES OF PRESS

Summary/Abstract: Peculiar features of covering the religion theme in media are considered depending on the press theory, under which a given source of information functions. The publishing activity of “Charlie Hebdo”, a French weekly magazine, is in line with the libertarian and Soviet theories of press brought to the extreme, i.e., information anarchism and extremism. It is argued that the disregard of communication rules, which are generally accepted in other models of press, by the editorial staff resulted in the high conflictogenity of caricatures about Islam published in the magazine. They eventually motivated the terrorist act. The professional requirement for journalists is established, i.e., the need to study the specifics of other concepts of press in order to avoid conflicts.
