| Description | Habits, professional standards, routines, as well as the opinions of „press people“ can offer at least partial answers to questions dealing with the journalists as a specific socioprofessional community.The article is based upon a survey of Czech journalists performed between the years 2003 and 2005 and its aim is to trace the basic types of their “professional self-definition”. The results suggest that along with traditional approaches of the journalistic profession (the“educational”, “advocate/adversarial” and “neutral/objective” types of journalists), there is a subgroup stressing a distinctive “career/pragmatic” approach to the role of journalist. Journalism is understood as a tool for individual development, as a “fast track” towards an individual career (not only within the journalistic profession) by this subgroup. |
