SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY OF THE REPORT ON USE OF LANGUAGE TO THE PROLIFERATION OF VIOLENT ACTS IN THE WORLD OF SPORT

Sport communication is a unique phenomenon that has been exceedingly developed for the last years, has created a proper and different language and has turned into the most successful journalistic product. Owing to the great social impact of this kind of news, sport journalists contract a high responsibility when they send messages according to some ethical and linguistic guidelines that determine the models of expression and behaviour of citizens to a large extent. This situation is especially significant among the youngsters, because they are the most passionate followers of this sort of information and, consequently, the most easily influenced receivers. This social responsibility is even higher when certain language usage and images shown by mass media may incite people to use violent means because of the result of a sport event.
