Abstract
The paper explores the degree and quality of the perception of the students of journalism of their future profession. The author claims that the students harbor a more idealistic view of their profession than their employed colleagues. Namely, the extrapolation of the results might lead us to the conclusion that the degree of idealism decreases with the length of the working experience squared, which means that the humdrum routine of everyday work gradually lowers the level of journalists’ professional ambitions. The differences between the first- and second-year students show that education and maturity result in a more realistic assessment of journalistic profession, which means that the curricula and the organization of study in general should be constantly improved and updated.
