Odnos med razvitostjo držav in svobodo medijev

Mezinec, Petra (author), Lah, Borut Marko (mentor)

Pravica do informiranosti, pravica izražanja mnenja in pravica do svobodnih medijev sodijo v sodobnem svetu med temeljne človekove pravice. Tako določajo državne ustave in mednarodne konvencije. Večina raziskav se osredotoča na vpliv, ki ga ima razvoj demokratičnih institucij na medijsko svobodo. Precej manj raziskovalcev pa se posveča vprašanju, ali obstaja tudi povezava med razvitostjo in svobodnimi mediji. Stanje medijev, medijski trg in položaj novinarjev preučuje več indeksov, med najbolj znane sodita indeks medijske svobode organizacije Novinarji brez meja in indeks svobode medijev organizacije Freedom House. Razvitost držav lahko merimo z več kazalci, med najbolj prepoznavne pa sodijo bruto domači proizvod na prebivalca, indeks človekovega razvoja in indeks zaznane stopnje korupcije. V pričujočem magistrskem delu smo skušali ugotoviti, ali imajo države, kjer je svoboda medijev višja, višji življenjski standard, višji bruto domači proizvod in manj korupcije. Na podlagi preučevane korelacije lahko ugotovimo, da obstaja močna povezanost med medijsko svobodo in preučevanimi razvojnimi kazalci.
