Название: Losing Pravda: Ethics and The Press in Post-Truth Russia Автор: Natalia Roudakova Издательство: Cambridge University Press Год: 2017 ISBN: 9781107171121 Формат: pdf Страниц: 275 Размер: 1,9 mb Язык: English
This text argues that, contrary to widespread assumptions, late Soviet-era journalists shared a cultural contract with their audiences, which ensured that their work was guided by a truth-telling ethic. Post-communist economic and political upheaval led not so much to greater press freedom as to the de-professionalization of journalism, as journalists found themselves having to monetize their truth-seeking skills. This has culminated in a perception of journalists as political prostitutes, or members of the 'second oldest profession', as they are commonly termed in Russia.
Roudakova argues that this cultural shift has fundamentally eroded the value of truth-seeking and telling in Russian society.
