Copyright: Journalist, Blogger, and Filmmaker

An advisory hour was held at our university for first-year students of the Media and Communications program at the Faculty of Journalism. The event was organized as a discussion on the topic «Copyright: Journalist, Blogger, and Filmmaker». The topic is highly relevant in today’s world and particularly important for the Faculty of Journalism, where students study in three academic areas: Journalism, Media and Communications, and Film and Media.

The discussion among the first-year students was lively, as each participant had their own perspective and position on the issue. During the discussion, the students concluded that bloggers are among the most vulnerable groups in the online environment in terms of the protection of their rights. In their view, blogging is not a profession but rather a type of activity. Therefore, the students believe that the legislation on mass media should be further developed and improved in order to provide better protection for bloggers’ rights.
