- Abstract
The main aim and meaning of journalistic activity is to provide information and use journalistic criticism as a tool of social control. Journalistic activity is an important control mechanism that contributes to the proper functioning of democratic structures. Press criticism, although valuable and desirable, is not an absolute value. It has its limits, beyond which it becomes an abuse of freedom of expression. Setting limitations for press criticism in abstracto is very difficult, but it is also necessary to protect other goods and values.
