Abstract
The goal of this study was to investigate the normative role orientations of journalists in the SFRY, as stated or implied in five Yugoslav journalism ethics codes. Application of the method of document analysis and the comparative historical method identified the reasons for adopting the first code and assisted in the analysis of how the codes conceptualised (the relationship between) freedom and responsibility, and how they addressed truthfulness and professional norms. The normative foundations of journalism outlined in these ethics codes were transforming over time and in response to changes in the socio-politico-legal-economic environment. Media/journalistic freedom was only permitted within the limits of the socialist orientation and if contributing to the building and development of the self-managed society, at least up until 1988 when the Marxist and Leninist values defining a journalist as a socio-political worker were removed. A journalist was obliged to follow their socialist conscience and be responsible to the working people – the socialist public, yet in the 1980s the codes stressed their responsibility to the public. While displaying several characteristics of the Soviet-totalitarian theory of the press, the normative foundations also somewhat resemble the social responsibility theory. Professional norms associated with truthfulness, professional integrity, and respect for human personality and dignity have been evolving over time, gaining more space, elaboration and emphasis. The fact that some professional norms were seen by the journalistic community as sufficiently important to be codified shows that the foundations of the professionalization of Slovenian journalism were laid in the socialist Yugoslavia already.

Title:Normativne usmeritve vlog jugoslovanskih novinarjev
Abstract:
Cilj te študije je raziskati normativne orientacije vlog novinarjev v SFRJ, kot so zapisane v petih jugoslovanskih novinarskih etičnih kodeksih ali razvidne iz njih. Z analizo dokumentov in primerjalno zgodovinsko metodo smo raziskali razloge za sprejem prvega kodeksa, analizirali pojmovanja svobode in odgovornosti ter odnos med njima v kodeksih in ugotovili, kako kodeksi naslavljajo resnicoljubnost in profesionalne norme. Normativni temelji novinarstva, kot se kažejo v etičnih kodeksih, so se spreminjali skozi čas ter ob spremembah v družbenem, političnem, pravnem in ekonomskem okolju. Medijska/novinarska svoboda je bila dovoljena le v okviru socialistične usmeritve ter prispevka h graditvi in razvoju samoupravne družbe, vsaj do leta 1988, ko so bile izpuščene vrednoti marksizma in leninizma ter opredelitev novinarja kot družbenopolitičnega delavca. Novinar je bil obvezan delovati po svoji socialistični zavesti in je bil odgovoren do delovnih ljudi, do socialistične javnosti, kodeksa v osemdesetih letih pa sta poudarjala njegovo odgovornost do javnosti. Ob več značilnostih sovjetske totalitarne teorije tiska imajo normativni temelji tudi določeno podobnost s teorijo družbene odgovornosti. Profesionalne norme, povezane z resnicoljubnostjo, profesionalno integriteto ter spoštovanjem človekove osebnosti in dostojanstva, so se sčasoma razvijale ter pridobivale več prostora, razdelanosti in poudarka. Dejstvo, da je novinarska skupnost nekatere profesionalne norme prepoznala kot dovolj pomembne za kodifikacijo, nakazuje, da so bili temelji profesionalizacije slovenskega novinarstva položeni že v socialistični Jugoslaviji.
