Ekonomické a etické aspekty vlastníctva médií v kontexte koncentrácie mediálneho trhu na Slovensku a v Česku
Economic and Ethical Aspects of Media ownership in the Context of its Concentration in Slovakia and Czech Republic

Summary/Abstract: As the old business models in the industry are failing, and news organizations are reducing their staff in order to fulfill the tight budgets, there is a tendency towards weakening of commitment to journalism within traditional media in favor of the business interests of the shareholders. Furthermore, in the new democracies with the owners who seek to use media for political influence and in support of their other business activities, the situation is even more critical. In this context the author comments on the economic and ethical aspects connected with media ownership in Slovakia and the Czech Republic and examines some of the developments and trends relating to this topic in the English speaking countries.
