Summary/Abstract: From a legal point of view, assignment of a message to any of the journalistic or literary genres does not matter. Journalistic material, whatever genre it is, may expose the writer to criminal or civil liability. Disciplinary liability can’t be forgotten, although enforcing compliance with ethical codes is extremely diffi cult (if not impossible). Journalists should also not forget about the requirements of copyright and to avoid plagiarism. It is important to respect the right to authorize, to protect the honor and dignity of the concerned persons.
