Citation
Description The article is based upon research project Czech journalist performed between the years 2003 and 2005. Its aim is to trace the basic shape of their professional self-image. It has been determined both by new economic-technological rationality and old heritage of old regime (communist) journalism too. The results of our research suggest that along with traditional approaches of the journalistic profession (the educational, advocate/adversarial and neutral/objective types of journalists), there has appeared new subgroup stressing a distinctive career/pragmatic approach to the role of journalist. These journalists perceive their work as a tool for individual development an individual career - not only within the journalistic profession.
