Research: I am conducting a research in the field of broadcast journalism for my Dprof and the completion of my Text Book- since this is the objective of my research for the Dprof is- to gather the necessary information that will help me to write a text book on Broadcast Media in Cyprus. The textbook will be in the form of a manual for the new journalists entering the field or for the experienced journalists who would like to refresh their skill or simply are curious to examine more approaches on work. For this reasons, the research is among professionals working in the area of television and radio news but also technical and nontechnical personnel supporting them on a daily basis. The survey conducted is based on interviews from these people giving their opinion and feedback on the job as being practiced, as it should be ideally being practiced and how they believe it will be practiced in the near future. Digital technology, the developments on the island, the ethical crisis and sacrifices due to economic crisis, the vast technological changes are giving some very important, complex but interesting answers/data in the area of broadcast journalism.
