Summary/Abstract: State in journalism in Bosnia and Herzgeovina is mediocre to say the very least. Lack of more educated and creative individuals engaged in journalism is obvious. There are very few who have good mind and will to make their work quality and interesting for the audience. Instead, in Bosnia and Herzegovina media we can see foreign commercial programs offering us entertainment only. Political magazines are one-sided, offering on cover pages biased content. They lost their primary function - to make information for ordinary folks and now they are more like tabloids. More and more, journailsts become only tools in hands of their editors (who are owners or majority shareholders of newspapers or TV houses). There is a lack of information concerning culture or education and there is a lack of professionals who would be engaged in critique of such issues. It leads to the question - Does journalism in Bosnia and Herzegovina had lost its educational function? And - Is it role now to amuse masses?
