OUR MEDIA
This research aims to create a better understanding of media self-regulatory mechanisms in Bosnian media landscape.
Self-regulatory and regulatory frameworks were established in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the late 1990s and early 2000s and their codes have been amended several times to keep up with new challenges in journalism and the digital environment. Despite the well-established frameworks and codes that follow trends in the media market, the implementation of professional media standards is still not at a satisfactory level in BiH.

Online media often violate ethical standards and the Press and Online Media Council has no influence on the work of the numerous anonymous news portals which, although they are presented as online media, do not publish information on their editors or their contact information.
This report focuses on the question of how to strengthen self-regulatory mechanisms and increase the responsibility of journalists and editors for media content in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
