Journalistic Objectivity in the Process of Political Elections in the Conditions of Democracy

Abstract

The article explores the problem of ensuring the objectivity of information in the process of political elections. The author argues that absolute objectivity does not exist, because journalistic activities are determined by the position of media owners and political preferences of journalists themselves. However, in a democracy, political and cultural pluralism brings about a variety of media attitudes in the election, which enables voters to make free choices based on understanding of their interests.
