| Marko Crnkovič (born 1962) is a columnist at Dnevnik, media advisor to Styria Media International and editor and blogger at Blogos. Za narodov blogor is his second blog (started 2006). He published his first on Jonas Žnidaršič’s Rozina (O, moj Blog!, 2005). He studied literature and French at the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Ljubljana. As a student he started publishing literary and theatre critiques as well as translations from French. |
He began writing columns at Teleks (1986). After graduation (1987) he was a journalist in the Culture section of Delo, until he became Manager of the cultural and arts programme at Cankarjev dom (1991). He soon returned to Delo (1992), where he became editor in chief of the bi-weekly Razgledi. He worked there until the magazine’s cancellation in 1999. He also wrote acclaimed columns for Sobotna priloga (1995-2000). Eventually he became a free-lance journalist and joined the newspaper Finance as a columnist and editorial consultant (2001-03). In this period he began preparing a new daily, which hasn’t started yet, however. The last few years he has been writing columns for Dnevnik (2004-) and recently (2007-) baby columns for the magazine Jana.
Ethics is ethics
There is no reason we shouldn’t expect the same kind of ethics online that we expect from the classical media. The problem is that this expectation is illusory and the implementation a task worthy of Sisyphus. However, does this mean that we can simply forget about ethics on the internet?
Workshop: Five seconds for better language
(Creative writing for blogs)
It’s better that nobody who hated Slovene language teachers and corrections to school essays apply here. My purpose is very concrete: to explain to writers, that language and grammar aren’ sumfin’ stooped … and then mark your texts with a red marker and get them into shape.
