The freedom of speech and the right to privacy in the media

U radu se analizira stanje poštivanja slobode izražavanja i prava na privatnost u medijima. Posebna pozornost pridaje se sukobu tih dvaju prava, odnosno određivanju granice između slobode izražavanja i prava na privatnost prigodom izvještavanja. Rad je podijeljen u dva dijela. U prvom dijelu rada razmatraju se pravne zaštite i ograničenja slobode izražavanja i prava na privatnost. Također se objašnjava važnost i potreba za poštovanjem navedenih prava. Drugi dio rada usmjeren je proučavanju stanja slobode izražavanja i prava na privatnost u masovnim medijima. Prikazuju se suvremene prijetnje slobodi izražavanja medijskih djelatnika te se razjašnjava odraz takvih ograničenja na informiranost građana. Dio rada naročito je posvećen problematiziranju složenosti određivanja granice između prakticiranja slobode izražavanja i ugrožavanja prava na privatnost. Taj etički problem analizira se kroz klevetu, govor mržnje, nemoralno izvještavanje o kriznim situacijama te senzacionalistički pristup izvještavanju u digitalnim medijima.This paper analyses the state of respect for freedom of expression and the right to privacy in the media. Particular attention is drawn to the conflict between the two rights, namely the determination of the boundary between freedom of expression and the right to privacy while reporting. The paper is divided into two parts. The first part of the paper discusses the legal safeguards and limitations of freedom of expression and the right to privacy, as well as the importance and the need to respect these rights. The second part of the paper analyses the use of freedom of expression and the right to privacy in mass media. Modern threats to freedom of expression of media professionals are being presented, and a reflection of such restrictions on citizens´ awareness is being clarified. Part of the paper focuses on presenting the complexity of determining the boundary between practicing freedom of expression and endangering the right to privacy. This ethical problem is analysed through defamation, hate speech, immoral reporting about a crisis, and a sensationalistic approach to reporting in the digital media
