OPATIJA, Oct 27 (Hina) - About 40 media representatives gathered
in the International Centre for the Education of Journalists in the northern
Adriatic resort of Opatija on Friday for a conference that was expected to
adopt a declaration on establishing a Croatian Media Council.
Establishing a Media Council is one of the most important tasks in the
development of self-regulation and regulation of the journalistic profession in
the country.
The purpose of the Council would be to interpret professional standards
based on its code of ethics, deal with complaints and possibly impose
penalties, but only of a moral nature.
The Council would consist of representatives of journalists, publishers
and the public.
The conference, sponsored by the Konrad Adenauer Foundation, closes on
Sunday.
