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.
