2. Who or what is a journalist - is it a person or a profession?

3. How do we define the line between public interest and the interest of media?

4. What would be one way of ethically reporting on corruption or fraud in a company, without putting innocent people / workers in harms way?

▼ Pitanja 5 - 8

5. What are the five values or tools of Ethical Journalism and how are these applicable in every day work of a journalist?

6. Where is the line between personal professional responsibilities, the responsibility of the media house and the responsibility of the journalst as a human being?

7. You worked in Northern Ireland during 30 years of terrorist war in that region. The journalist network you’ve built with other colleagues protected journalists during this entire time.
How did you do this and what is the power of such network in protection of journalists in crisis areas?

8. In the times of crisis, when people turn towards the media for answers, in hope maybe to hear things that can increase their chances for survival, journalists are required to contact all parties involved such as two enemy sides during war time.

Yet there are risks for the media or journalists as persons to become a mule for publishing propaganda ideas of one side due to becoming either personally attached to it or manipulated by one side to publish their ideas as the truth.

▼ Pitanja 9 - 12

9. When facing certain situation where professional ethics and personal morals come to a conflict with each other. Is it, or is it not ok for a journalist to stop reporting and to become involved in crisis relief?

10. During the war times here in Sarajevo, we have seen some foreign journalists who worked for a major media house manipulating a scene in order to tell the truth.
It happened that in a short time they were here, there was no major shelling or bombing, so they threw some human sized dolls on the ground that they’ve prepared earlier, then poured some fake blood on them and did the report with these fake carcases in the background, as if a shelling just happened.

Is it ok to do such manipulation in order to talk about the horrors you haven't seen due to situation not allowing for it – as it still tells the truth - considering that these horrors did happen.

11. What are the parameters that make journalist decide: “I will not publish this story” versus those that make you say – “I will publish this story, even if it costs me my career”

12. How do you define public interest vs. public needs vs. public desires?

▼ Pitanja 13 - 15

13. The media is here to give information to people, but that's just one side of it.
The media also has to take responsibility and to help shape public opinion and to run public discourse, because if the media doesn't shape and change the tastes and opinion of the public, then it brings itself into a danger of always following only what people want.

In this light - What is the role of the media?


14. There was a case where a list of once conviceted and now released pedophiles was made public in a national newspaper. The media argued that it is in public interest to publish such list, even if it endagers the lives of those listed. and their by-argument was that such list is anyway publicicly available from police at request, and that most people don't know about this.

Can this be considered a responsible or ethical move?


15. When trying to change the perception about certain issues in public, especially when dealing with groups that very hatefull towards some others. When you want to bring forth a story that can change their opinion, is it better to tell a story that focuses on an individual - such as example of gay soldier you just gave - or is it better to talk about gay people as a group?

In the first case you have the individual vs. community and in the second case is group vs. group.

▼ Pitanja 16 - 18

16. How do you as journalist, in practical sense, approach people and get them to talk to you about issues, especially when they are not willing or ready to do so?

17. In the world of social media and people moving away from print and into the digital realm, where tv stations are becoming a form of reality show laboratories, and anyone with a social media account or a blog claims a right to be a journalist...

What is the future of journalism in such environment, and where is the journalism headed considering its migration from the controled editorial rooms to privacy of peoples bedrooms?

18. What is your advice to young journalists who are starting their career, who have to choose between telling a story, bringing information and doing what they are told if they want to keep a job?
