I'm Ashamed But I'm a Journalist

How is journalism done? How does the communication process work? L. Dogan Tiliç seeks answers to these questions by questioning journalists, who are the main perpetrators of this process. What you have here is not a "journalist's book" that exposes the "invisible face of journalism" from the paparazzi's perspective... It also goes beyond the horizons of an academic field study that adapts one of the media theories. While depicting how journalism is done in "real life" through journalists' perspectives on their own work, it analyzes an important component of the communication process. Thus, it makes a serious contribution to clarifying our perspective on the functioning of the media. According to Tiliç's argument, despite the shameful situation journalists are in, they still constitute the link in the media process that is most open to democratization. "I'm Ashamed But I'm a Journalist" has another very important aspect: It examines the issue through the example of Turkish and Greek press and journalists. It compares the ownership structure and professional understanding of the press of the two countries... And of course their "addiction" to official ideology and nationalism... The book provides rich data about this chronic problem with its perspective on Turkish-Greek relations.
