I decided a long time, as my paper will contribute to the analysis of very serious of re-sponsibility issues in media studies. The question is, which is very general and theoretical concepts are inspirational and can form the basis for serious empirical scrutiny of this issue in the context of media studies? Responsibility belongs to determining the professional and ethical categories primarily in the media and especially in journalism. From this perspective, ideal candidates for the analysis of accountability in media studies now represent two particular philosophical and theoretical concepts of responsibility, and this: the concept of Hans Jonas and Jurgen Habermas.
