Sažetak
The article will be mainly based on the comparison of media systems and journalists’ professional values and practices. By relying principally on the findings of the in-depth interviews conducted with the Turkish journalists and journalists from different countries working in Turkey, I will analyze journalists’ approach to their profession and ask what kind of a professional approach is dominant both in theory and in practice among the journalists and what are the potentials and obstacles for more democratic forms of journalism. The findings show that Western values are the key points for comparison, not only for the journalists from Anglo-Saxon countries but also for Turkish journalists (as can be seen in the discourse of “we are more democratic than Middle Eastern countries, but less democratic compared to Europe”). Turkish journalists and the others differed mostly in the rights and opportunities they have and the different political culture. They share more common points when it comes to professional codes, but they have differences in practice.
