| Summary |
"A sajtó" by Lajos Biró is an essay on the nature of journalism and its relationship to society, written in the early 20th century. This piece examines the role of the press as a reflection of the social conditions and ideologies of the time, asserting that journalism is not merely an institutional endeavor but an intrinsic part of the societal structure itself. The main themes include the correlation between the public's opinions and the content produced by the press, along with a critique of the ethical complexities surrounding journalism. At the start of the essay, the author critiques the traditional views of journalism as an independent institution worthy of celebration, arguing instead that it serves as a mirror reflecting societal realities. He emphasizes that journalists must write what the public thinks and feels, often leading to a compromise between integrity and popularity. Biró argues that successful journalism must resonate with the collective opinions of the readers, often placing the responsibility for the quality of journalism squarely on the shoulders of the audience itself. This opening portion sets the stage for a deeper exploration of journalism's evolution, challenges, and moral dilemmas in the context of modern society. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
