Razvoj profesionalnog novinarstva u Bosni i Hercegovini
Development of professional journalism in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Summary/Abstract: A variety of information published in many media nowadays, especially those in new media, are not based on fact. Such information are often offensive, xenophobic, islamophobic and a serious threat to human dignity and peace. However, part of the public used to believe the media uncritically accept their content because it believes that the ''mighty'' media bring nothing but the truth. The other part of the public recognizes such content and raises the question of how to change that, or how to compel the media to work professionaly. It seems that the answer to this question is not only in the sphere of strict regulation and strict sanctions (laws), but in the system of self-regulation that will ensure journalistic professionalism and public right ''to know the truth''. However, precondition for that is a developed democratic society and within a formed political culture.
