SLOVAKIA ON HALLIN AND MANCINI MAP: TERMINOLOGY OF MEDIA SYSTEMS THEORY
Journal Title: Megatrendy a médiá - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Scholars around the globe argue on the theory of Comparing Media Systems by Hallin and Mancini (2004) for about a decade. Many of them tried to place Central and Eastern Europe on the map of their three models of media and politics. The results of these inquiries differ a lot. This article is an attempt to confront Slovakia with these models. This study argues about validity of the model in digital future of the media. One of the most significant factors, dividing media systems according to Hallin and Mancini, is a strong tradition of the press. What does this mean in terminology of digital era? Is it only newspapers on paper, or is it just a general literacy or does it include online readers? Another problem is the pluralism and political paralelism in the age of dewesterniztion and oligarchization of the media. Questionaire asked relevant Slovak journalists about their opinion of journalism professionalization and the results show low level of the professionalization, described on several factors. The study shows that Slovakia, as well as other CEE countries, might be shifting to southern polarized pluralist model, in which media are used by the powerful as their instruments.
