Summary/Abstract: In the modern world mass media are one of the most powerful instrument of influencing others. They can be used ether for good of a man or for his detriment; they can serve society or destroy it. Mass media are also an instrument of peace or war in the world. They are instrument of peace when they are an instrument of truth and promote justice among people, and serve the common good. They become an instrument of war when they lye, destroy social and religious values, promote social conflict. The main duty of the journalist is writing the truth. To fulfil this role he has to be free. Also for that reason he cannot be at direct service of the politicians, who usually are willing to use this instrument for their own good or the good of their parties; a journalist should not pursuit of the sensation, which usually serve for nothing positive.
