The Global Handbook of Media Accountability brings together leading
scholars to de-Westernize the academic debate on media
accountability and discuss different models of media
self-regulation and newsroom transparency around the globe. With
examination of the status quo of media accountability in 43
countries worldwide, it offers a theoretically informed comparative
analysis of accountability regimes of different varieties. As such,
it constitutes the first interdisciplinary academic framework
comparing structures of media accountability across all continents
and creates an invaluable basis for further research and
policymaking. It will therefore appeal to scholars and students of
media studies and journalism, mass communication, sociology, and
political science, as well as policymakers and practitioners.

In recent years, the Leveson Inquiry in Great Britain, as well as
the EU High-Level Group on Media Freedom and Pluralism, have
stirred heated debates about media accountability and media
self-regulation across Europe. How responsible are journalists? How
well-developed are infrastructures of media self-regulation in the
different European countries? How much commitment to media
accountability is there in the media industry - and how actively do
media users become involved in the process of media criticism via
social media? With contributions from leading scholars in the field
of journalism and mass communication, this handbook brings together
reports on the status quo of media accountability in all EU members
states as well as key countries close to Europe, such as Turkey and
Israel. Each chapter provides an up-to-date overview of media
accountability structures as well as a synopsis of relevant
research, exploring the role of media accountability instruments in
each national setting, including both media self-regulation (such
as codes of ethics, press councils, ombudspersons) and new
instruments that involve audiences and stakeholder groups (such as
media blogs and user comment systems). A theoretically informed,
cross-national comparative analysis of the state of media
accountability in contemporary Europe, this handbook constitutes an
invaluable basis for further research and policy-making and will
appeal to students and scholars of media studies and journalism, as
well as policy-makers and practitioners.

Bringing together both leading international scholars and emerging
academic talent, Media Accountability in the Era of Post-Truth
Politics maps the current state of media accountability in Europe
and provides fresh perspectives for future developments in media
and communication fields. As the integrity of the international
media landscape is challenged by far-reaching transformations and
the rise of "fake news," the need for a functional system of media
regulation is greater than ever. This book addresses the pressing
need to re-evaluate and redefine the notion of accountability in
the fast-changing field of journalism and "information provision."
Using comparative research and empirical data, the book's case
studies address the notion of media accountability from various
perspectives, considering political and societal change, economic,
organisational and technological factors, and the changing role of
media audiences. By collecting and juxtaposing these studies, the
book provides a new discussion for the old question of how we can
safeguard free and responsible media in Europe - a question that
seems more urgent than ever. Media Accountability in the Era of
Post-Truth Politics is an essential read for students and
researchers in journalism, media and communication studies.
11 Was macht fur Pottker den Beruf Journalismus aus? Konstitutiv
ist zunachst einmal, im Sinne der Berufsdefinition Max Webers, eine
typische Spezifizierung, Spezialisierung und Kombination von
Leistungen einer Person [ ], welche fur sie die Grundlage einer
kontinuierlichen Versorgungs- und Erwerbschance ist (Weber 1972:
80). Mit anderen Worten: Journalisten sollen fur ihre spezielle
Tatigkeit und die dafur erworbenen Kom- tenzen ein regelmassiges
und zum Leben ausreichendes Einkommen erwarten (konnen). Daruber
hinaus ist der Journalistenberuf mit einer ihm eigenen Aufgabe
bewusst verm- det Pottker den systemtheoretisch konnotierten
Funktionsbegriff verbunden: dem Herst- len von Offentlichkeit (vgl.
u. a. Pottker 1999). Als Kernelement des journalistischen -
rufsethos lasst sich damit ein Drang zum An-den-Tag-bringen
beschreiben, der bereits in der Berufsbezeichnung Journalist
erkennbar wird, in der das franzosische Nomen le jour (der Tag)
enthalten ist: Journalisten bringen an den Tag, was nicht
verschwiegen werden darf, damit ihre Rezipienten sich in der
Gesellschaft, in der sie leben, zurechtfinden konnen. Aus der
Offentlichkeitsaufgabe ergibt sich eine journalistische
Grundpflicht zum P- lizieren, von der im Prinzip kein Gegenstand
und kein Thema ausgenommen ist (ebd.: 221). Pottker vergleicht
diese Grundnorm oft anschaulich mit ahnlichen bei Arzten, die
menschliches Leben erhalten, oder Rechtsanwalten, die fur ihre
Mandanten das rechtlich Mogliche herausholen sollen. Sollte es
Grunde geben, die gegen eine Befolgung dieser Gebote sprechen, so
mussen diese besonders stark ausgepragt sein. Nach dieser Argumen-
tion ist das Nicht-Veroffentlichen von bestimmten Themen ein
schwerer wiegender Verstoss gegen die journalistische
Professionalitat als eine Verfalschung publizierter Informationen."
The volume deals with the normative challenges and the ethical
questions imposed by, and through, the developments and changes in
everyday life, culture and society in the context of media change.
It is thus concerned with the questions of whether and how the
central concept of (enlightened) ethics must evolve under these
premises - or in other words: what form do ethics take in
mediatized societies? In order to address this question and to
stimulate and initiate a debate, the authors focus on two concepts:
responsibility and resistance. Their contributions try to shed
light not only on the empirical shreds of evidence of change in
mediatized societies, but also on the normative challenges and
ethical possibilities of these developments.

Es gibt viele Grunde dafur, warum bestimmte Themen in den Medien zu
kurz kommen. Die Initiative Nachrichtenaufklarung" (INA) versucht,
sie dennoch ins offentliche Bewusstsein zu heben. Seit 1997
veroffentlicht sie Jahr fur Jahr eine Top-Ten-Liste, die auf die
blinden Flecken der journalistischen Berichterstattung
hinweist.
Der Band dokumentiert die Top-Ten-Listen der vergangenen zehn
Jahre und gibt Auskunft uber Arbeitsweisen, Erfolge und Probleme
dieser zivilgesellschaftlichen Initiative. Verschiedene
Expertenbeitrage zur investigativen Recherche zeigen, wie
Journalisten dem Problem der medialen Vernachlassigung
entgegenwirken konnen.
