Describes the attitude of T. G. Masaryk to the crisis of Europe, defined as the dysfunction & the collapse of democratic regimes in Europe. The author wants to answer the question why Masaryk in his ideology never made a mention of the totalitarian danger presented by the German Nazism & its nefarious politics of conquest to democracy & to the other nations in Europe. It seems that Masaryk's disregard for the challenges to the democratic order in Europe & his stance regarding the crisis in Europe stemmed from his attitude toward the ethnic community of the Sudetenland Germans, stemming in turn from his understanding of democracy. Masaryk's notion of democracy completely ignored the idea of collective rights & consequently overlooked the need for an improved communication with the German ethnic community in Czechoslovakia. Because of the processes of the European integration, the following question is in order: is it necessary for the democratic idea to include the idea of collective rights or is it, as most contemporary theories say, in fact fatal for the development of liberal democracy? 13 References.

This article is an enquiry into television news selection, which scrutinizes the question of journalists' professionalism in selecting, producing & presenting the news, by putting it in critical relation to the issues of reception, the influences of politics & of commercial interests. Taking the route of identifying t~ key production, technological, & representational vectors, the study offers the elemental scope of professional criteria applied in news selection & production. On the basis of the main theories of news selection, including the key theory of Galtung & Ruge, & on the basis of her own research of news selection in the main television newscasts in Croatia (with special attention given to the central public service television news program "Dnevnik"), the article suggests that the structures of programs, journalistic forms & individual news texts correspond to the values ingrained in the classical postulates of television journal-ism theory, in the form of applied news factors. The article discusses the influence of political & commercial interest on TV news content & the ways in which technology changes the news flow. This study recognizes the need for a continuing redefinition in the realm of news theory, if it is to meet the serious institutional & production changes that news selection undergoes in the present age. Finally, further research is recommended in the direction of elevating the professional standards of Croatian television journalism to a higher level. Tables, Graphs, References.
