Abstract

Journalistic confidentiality and revealing information constituting thereof should be examined not only as a legal problem but also issue of highly important meaning in the light of journalists’ professional ethics. Journalists select values they intend to protect. When selecting such values journalists should apply provisions of law that are of key importance here. Provisions of law however should be complemented by norms of professional ethics aiming at supporting journalists making such difficult selection.
