- Abstract
"Press freedom is a blessing when writing about others and calamity when we find ourselves accused of many," said the English poet and essay-writer Samuel Johnson, at the middle of the 18th century. Everyday reality shows us that things almost haven't changed in the last 300 years. Aggressiveness, scandal, the appetite for sensational and the suburban language represent a number of facts characteristic to both the past and the present. Not a day goes by without us reading in the paper or watching on TV reports on accidents, aggressions, rapes, scandals which involve public figures. These types of events trigger our curiosity and interest. We like it when justice is done on TV, because we feel that we are part of the "panel." Therefore we have whom to sympathize with or whom to blame. However, we are much more cautious when the main characters of such events would be us. In this context, the present research aims at evaluating consumers' media perception on the information they receive, from a double perspective: that of observers and that of potential protagonists of such events. We have analysed the perception, impact, objectivity and last but not least, the dependence towards this type of information.
