In a media organization journalists represent the creative force that makes the media outlet viable. McQuail (2008) formulates a definition of journalism as the “publication of accounts of contemporary events, conditions or persons of possible significance or interest to the public, based on information believed to be reliable.” According to the author journalism and journalistic work are not necessarily done for a financial reward. Thus an array of journalistic activities pursued for non-profit causes or in non-institutionalized forms is not excluded. These views are elaborated further by Jakubowicz (2011) who provides additional considerations about the status and role of journalism in the new media environment. Crucial in this respect are his conclusions that “observing, reporting and publishing about public events” is not a monopoly of journalism but should be “open to everyone, without artificial or other barriers”. (Ibid: 185; referring also to McQuail, 2008) Such arguments are illuminative that in the new media environment flexible criteria should be applied when addressing the issue about journalism and journalists due to the existing variety of media and media like activities.
