In comparison to similar earlier initiatives in Lviv, this was a strictly professional, non-political and non-party organization. I took care of its members’ everyday needs, materials and interests. A very important problem was maintaining the prestige and dignity the profession. The SCJ exacted standards and rules of media ethics in the press and radio. It was engaged in public problems, affairs. It initiated many debates, especially on the freedom of the press and press law. In 1939, the SCJ united 94 members and 200 journalists from 1912 to 1939 to participate in this organization. The SCJ was the oldest and greatest independent professional organization of this type in Poland. }, doi = {10.4467/2543733XSSB.19.004.11403}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/czasopismo/ssb/artykul/syndykat-dziennikarzy-krakowskich-1912-1939} }
