Ethics And Information Security Issues In Gonzo Journalism
Keywords:
gonzo journalism, ethical principles, journalistic ethics, information security, international legal norms, national press, journalistic responsibility, subjectivity.Abstract
This article presents an in-depth analysis of ethical principles and information security issues in gonzo journalism. Because the gonzo style departs from traditional journalistic norms and relies on the author's personal involvement, emotional tone, and subjective views, it often conflicts with ethical and legal norms. This raises questions of journalistic responsibility, factual accuracy, the reliability of sources, and their safety. The article examines the ethical boundaries of gonzo journalism in the context of international legal norms (UN resolutions, UNESCO principles, Council of Europe documents) and national legislative requirements. It also analyzes the positive and negative consequences of a subjective approach based on real-life examples from the television program "Millar." The research findings provide scientific evidence that ensuring a balance between ethics and information security in gonzo journalism is essential for the sustainable development of journalism.
