Ethical attitudes of Azeri journalists: analysis of selected professional criteria

Anotace:

This article is based upon research project “Professionalization of Azerbaijani Journalists in regard to ethical standards” implemented in March-April 2008 in Azerbaijan and intended to fill theoretical vacuum around Azerbaijani media. Being a product of a post-Soviet regime Azeri media are still in transitional period suffering from excessive political instrumentalism as well as from other negative features. Combined, these aspects lead to Azerbaijan’s high profile on media violence. Yet, until now, no one asked a reasonable question on how professional are Azerbaijani journalists at doing their job. The purpose of this research was to answer the question as well as to map ethical and value orientations of editors working in the twelve largest nationwide newspapers in Azerbaijan. The results of our research suggest that Azerbaijani journalistic society is not only divided by political affiliations but also has distinctive groups varying by their professionalism.
