Etics in E-zines

Đorđe Obradović

Abstract

Research conducted with quantitative and qualitative content analysis method of certain Croatian E-zines revealed how individuals, hidden by anonymity, one of Internet’s major benefits, vulgarize freedom of speech and turn it into intolerance towards others, eruptions of hatred and anarchy.
Instead on aspects, anger is aimed on author, his family, nation, religion or race, according to this research. Freedom is the right of people on truthful, accurate, fair, balanced and unbiased information coverage, freedom is the ability to use right on corrective amendment, acknowledged by Croatian law system, and freedom is also the right not to watch some programs and shows or not to read articles by certain authors.
But, freedom was never, nor it will become, the right to imperil rights of others, which unfortunately still didn’t live up to be rule of conduct in bidirectional communication through E-zines.
