ABOUT THE NEED FOR MEDIA ACTIVITY IN THE LIGHT OF SELECTED POSITIONS OF THE MODERN PHILOSOPHY OF POLITICS – AN OUTLINE OF THE ISSUES

Abstract

The operation of the media in the public space is an inseparable attribute and tool for the
development of democracy, especially democracy understood in a modern way. Media – and here
we should mean television, radio, Internet – fulfil important and necessary functions for societies:
information, education and culture. These functions mean that each of the mentioned entities
also takes responsibility for the “word” and the consequences of the spoken, written or shown
“word” in the public space. In the context of the presented specific relation (which can be called
ethical-axiological) between the activities of the media and their responsibility, an important issue
concerning the freedom of operation of the media is appeared. A question should be asked whether
the media being a subject to restrictions in its activities can be fully responsible for the content
prepared and made public by these media. Taking these issues into account, the aim of the article
is to show how the activity of the media is understood in the world of a political philosophy that
focuses more on ethical and social problems than on problems resulting from the accepted legal
order. The article is an incentive to see the broader spectrum of this issue by looking at selected
trends in the philosophy of media policy.

Keywords:

philosophy of politics, media, liberalism, conservatism, personalism.
