JOURNALISM AS A CREATIVE SECTOR PROFESSION

Abstract

The media business is part of the creative economy. Therefore, it should be recognized that the journalistic profession, inherent in this industry, belongs to the group of creative professions. This article considers the concept of the journalist's profession and the constitutive features of this profession, which allow it to be considered creative and at the same time characterized by specific specificity. The process of media convergence and the changes taking place in their area have contributed to journalism becoming a profession in which the traditional notebook and pen are increasingly being abandoned in favor of digital technologies for acquiring and transmitting material. For this reason, there are more and more concepts for defining this profession. Therefore, it is crucial to answer the question - who can currently be considered a journalist? This issue often becomes the subject of scientific reflection and discussion among practitioners. Determining the characteristics that will allow us to indicate whether someone is or is not a journalist will have consequences for the subsequent definition and determination of the level of involvement in this profession. Hence, it is justified to search for a concept that would best characterize journalism, while at the same time covering the widely dispersed tasks related to this profession.
