Å kritisere sine egne
Mediekritikk anses som nødvendig og viktig i et demokratisk samfunn og kan utøves både utenfra og av redaksjonene selv. Pressens eget etiske rammeverk sier mediene har en plikt til å sette et kritisk søkelys på journalistisk makt.

I denne artikkelen blir søkelyset satt på den mediekritikken som kommer innenfra og i …
