Abstract

The rights and freedom of the press has an interdisciplinary nature that is related with communication, law, sociology and philosophy. It is widely acknowledged that employees in the mainstream media have established rights and freedoms that are regulated through international law, documents, national constitutions and codes. Today, such regulations are accepted as valid for employees in new forms of media who do not have separate regulations. On the other hand, even the established regulations for the mainstream media have deficiencies, which means that unethical media coverage may occur. Such social media channels, differing from the other forms of media in terms of their speed, not only violate personal rights, but also lead to more catastrophic consequences. This work presents concrete solutions to prevent such unethical coverage by social media employees and to determine the limits of the rights and freedoms of the press. The data (and methods of analysis of the related data) were obtained using the following methods in the study: document review; press review; in-depth interviews.
