About this ebook:
In 2009 riep The Guardian-journalist Nick Davies op tot een wedergeboorte van het eerzame vak van journalist. 'De meeste journalisten zijn fatsoenlijke mensen, maar een paar bad guys hebben onze reputatie verknald', verklaarde hij aan de Volkskrant.Belangenverstrengeling die de berichtgeving over de openbare omroep beïnvloedt, de vele misvattingen over de teloorgang van de gedrukte media, faits divers en pulp die het nieuws overwoekeren, de censuur van elke 'onbetamelijke mening': het is slechts een kleine greep uit wat er allemaal misgaat in de wereld van de media.Over deze en nog vele andere misstanden gaat De vierde onmacht , een verzamelwerk waarin 22 spraakmakende en gezaghebbende auteurs de toestand van onze media en de journalistiek in Vlaanderen scherp op de korrel nemen. Journalisten, politici, academici en mediawatchers laten de lezer binnen in de achterkamers van de media, de plekken waar personaliteiten worden gemaakt en gekraakt, waar nepnieuws wordt geproduceerd en informatie geruisloos verdwijnt of verpulvert tot desinformatie.Dit boek is een vervolg op Media & journalistiek in Vlaanderen. Kritisch doorgelicht. Een actuele verkenningstocht die een nieuwe reeks onthullende feiten en verhelderende inzichten aan het licht brengt. Ook de mediakritiek zelf wordt in deze bundel kritisch aangepakt. De vierde onmacht toont niet alleen dat de media machtig zijn, maar ook dat ze dagelijks geconfronteerd worden met hun onmacht als sterke, onafhankelijke vierde macht op te treden.'Kritische, professionele en doorgedreven onafhankelijke journalistiek biedt een onmisbaar beschermingsvest voor een democratische rechtsstaat die naam waardig. Als de journalistiek dringend aan verbetermanagement toe is, dan ligt daar meteen ook de basis van de adequate remedie. Uitgeholde, noodlijdende, winsthongerige of opportunistische mediabedrijven vormen de negatie van de vierde macht en een makkelijke prooi voor commerciële verlokkingen en politieke manipulaties. Het is alvast die bekommernis die alle 22 auteurs in dit boek delen.''In 2010 hielden de misstanden in de media uiteraard niet op te bestaan. Kritische reflectie en waakzaamheid blijven dus geboden. De pers blijkt ook na het jaar van de ‘media culpa’, nog niet meteen aan een grootschalige kwalitatieve remonte toe en dus blijft de mediakritische diagnose een noodzakelijk kwaad, al was het alleen maar om mediagebruikers inzichten te verschaffen en te informeren, over die aspecten waarover de pers uit onwil, door verbod of zelfcensuur of bij gebrek aan competentie niet wil, mag of kan informeren.'Frank ThevissenINHOUD:- Karl Meersman: Bij de cover.
