Sažetak
This paper addresses the responsibility to authorise information that has the potential to harm third persons, as a specific category of media content. The introduction analyses the legal concepts of authorisation, its legal applications, and the range of practices within court practice. The central topic of the paper is the responsibility of the publisher to authorise information, the identification of the primarily responsible persons, and exceptions to general rules. Particular emphasis is placed on Article 21(7) of the Media Act, focusing on the assumption of responsibility by the publisher and editor-in-chief. The alignment of these provisions with the legal standards of the European Court of Human Rights is considered, and problematic areas of the legal text are indicated, particularly in the sections applying criminal law terminology and in reference to the editor-in-chief. The conclusion is that there is a need to amend legislation to achieve greater consistency in practice and alignment with the European legal standard.
