MEDIA RESPONSIBILITY OF POLITICIANS IN SERBIA

Summary/Abstract: The last decade of the twentieth century has showed brutality of media manipulation in society. One of the basic characteristics of that period was censorship, which appear to be very hard to diminish. This text deals with the problem of public political appearance of politicians in Serbia after the political changes in the year 2000. It came out that politicians in Serbia tend to use old habits and models of behaviour characteristic for repressive system before the changes. These tendencies are the most visible in politically very sensitive issues such is discovery of mass graves, where politicians that appeal to self-censorship of journalists can have longterm negative effects on culture of public discourse.
