In addition, it has been noted that some editors and journalists work only for non-journalistic agendas. At times, the journalist as such is not even part of the problem, but there are serious problems in the “superstructure”. The lack of integrity leads to the fabrication of information sources, which causes serious reputational risks to the journalist profession. According to the panellists, it is not rare that there is no follow-up to a story due to external interference – this interference is internally sponsored by those who should protect the values of the profession and the very professionals under their control. According to the panel, another fundamental problem is the growing confusion between journalists and press attachés, as well as the editorial and commercial dimensions of the media.
