Cilj ovog rada bio je istražiti kako novinari percipiraju vlastitu autonomiju na temelju svojih iskustva i stavova. Empirijski podaci su prikupljeni kvalitativnom metodom polustrukturiranog intervjua. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo pet novinara koji imaju iskustva rada u tiskanim i digitalnim medijima. Analizom rezultata istraživanja zaključeno je kako intervjuirani novinari smatraju da imaju visoku razinu autonomije u svome radu. Također, ispitanici autonomiju smatraju veoma važnom za svoj rad uzi poštivanje etičkih normi i profesionalnih standarda. Što se tiče sigurnosti novinara, kao primjere njenog ugrožavanja novinari navode govor mržnje na društvenim mreža. Kao glavne izvore utjecaja i pritisaka na svoj rad, intervjuirani novinari spominju: oglašivače, političare te utjecaj digitalne tehnologije.

The aim of this paper was to investigate how journalists perceive their own autonomy based on their experience and attitudes. Empirical data were collected using the qualitative method of a semi-structured interview. Five journalists with experience working in print and digital media participated in the research. The analysis of the research results concluded that the interviewed journalists believe that they have a high level of autonomy in their work. Also, respondents consider autonomy to be very important for their work, as well as respect for ethical norms and professional standards. As for the safety of journalists, journalists cite hate speech on social networks as examples of its endangerment. As the main sources of influence and pressure on their work, the interviewed journalists mention: advertisers, politicians and the influence of digital technology. Comparing printed and digital media, we come across major differences such as the form and content of news and the importance of the speed of information transmission.
