Dobrodošli na medijskem portalu Preiskovalno.si

Preiskovalno.si bo medij posebnega pomena. Posebnega zato, ker bo prvenstveno namenjen novinarskemu preiskovanju vaših zgodb, obenem pa bo gledal pod prste vsaki vladi. 

Osnovno poslanstvo medija je usmerjeno v izpričevanje zgodb ljudi brez zvez, brez političnega pedigreja in ljudi z roba. Pri nosilcih oblasti bomo terjali odgovore na vaša vprašanja in opozarjali na kritične razmere v družbi. Brez dlake na jeziku bomo pisali o tem, kdo se odziva in kdo ne. Kateri politiki so tisti, ki so resnično v službi ljudi in si prizadevajo za socialno pravičnost, in kateri so tisti, ki so neodzivni in brezbrižni do volivcev in medijskih izpraševalcev. Skrbno bomo objavljali napredek v zgodbah in jih skušali pripeljati do epiloga. Preprosto bo ugotoviti, kateri župani, ministri, nosilci javnih funkcij so odzivni, katere politične stranke imajo v ospredju agendo, ki je blizu ljudem. 

Poleg vaših zgodb bo Preiskovalno.si tudi medij, ki se bo posvečal najbolj perečim temam tega stoletja. Zdravstvu in okolju. Morda manj klikane zgodbe, a pomembne za družbo, v kateri se najpogosteje umira za posledicami rakavih obolenj.

Preiskovalno.si bo zapik resnice. Zapik avtonomnega in transparentnega novinarstva, kjer bomo zavzeli aktivno, vendar apolitično držo do aktualnega družbenega dogajanja, brez izjem. Mediji smo namreč krona vsake družbe, ustvarjamo življenjske vzorce in postavljamo pravila družbenega ravnanja. Z mediji človek živi in umre. Dobesedno in v prenesenem pomenu, saj je moč peresa lahko celo bolj usodna od moči meča. Mediji imamo moč nosilca četrte veje oblasti ali sedme sile, izpostavljena nadzorna in kritična funkcija novinarske dejavnosti pa ohranja temelje zdrave družbe. Ustava Republike Slovenije nam v svojem 39. členu zagotavlja svobodo izražanja misli, govora in javnega nastopanja, tiska in drugih oblik javnega obveščanja in izražanja. »Vsakdo lahko svobodno zbira, sprejema in širi vesti in mnenja. Vsakdo ima pravico dobiti informacijo javnega značaja, za katero ima v zakonu utemeljen pravni interes, razen v primerih, ki jih določa zakon.« Novinarjeva profesionalna dolžnost je, da razkriva deviantna dejanja, anomalije nosilcev oblasti in predstavnikov ključnih institucij v družbi in z njimi seznanja javnost.

In to je moč in odgovornost Preiskovalno.si. Novinarjev moralni kompas je namreč zlato nihalo, ki nas ohranja v polju pravičnosti in prava, usmerja in omejuje v svobodi izražanja, ki pa je odgovorna svoboda. Svoboda izražanja namreč zavezuje k veliki odgovornosti, svobodi za odgovorno akcijo. Le na podlagi avtonomije lahko novinar svoj poklic opravlja pošteno, resnicoljubno in verodostojno. Zavezanost tem osnovnim postulatom in vrednotam sloni na svobodni novinarjevi izbiri biti odgovoren in odgovoriti na ključna vprašanja v družbi. Jih pretehtati, oceniti, postaviti v kontekst in jih predočiti potrebam obče javnosti, zahtevati sistemske spremembe in se nanje ustrezno odzvati.

Vse to pa novinar lahko počne le v mediju, v katerem ni ujet v polaščevalnem razmerju, kjer medijski gospodar ne tlači njegovih vrednot z zahtevami po služenju ekonomskim in političnim interesom, ampak mu dopušča suvereno in odgovorno držo. V nasprotnem medij, kot je pred leti zapisal vrhunski slovenski literat in francoski lavreat Drago Jančar, vse skupaj pelje »ne samo v nadzorovane in usmerjene medije, ampak tudi v nadzorovano družbo, ki ji bodo vladali betajnovksi mogotci in njihovi odvetniki, asistirali pa jim bodo politiki in dobro plačani žurnalisti«. In tukaj je zaveza medija Preiskovalno.si, da bo cilj bralec, gledalec, poslušalec, torej človek, ki bo moralni zakon in ne plen. Sveža medijska paradigma brez apokaliptičnega senzacionalizma, zavezana javnemu dobremu, toleranci in prosvetljenim idejam.

Objektivnost, pravičnost in javni interes so najina načela. Medij ustvarjava dolgoletni novinarki Nataša Markovič in Barbara Pance.

Nataša Markovič je prav tako magistrica znanosti, zadnjih 11 let je delala na RTV Slovenija, novinarsko pot pa je začela na komercialni televiziji.

About Preiskovalno.si 

(European press prize winner 2024)

Preiskovalno.si (English: Investigative) is a Slovenian independent media project dedicated to in-depth feature and investigative human stories. Our mission is to give voice to those without privilege, living outside the bubble of a chosen few, and to serve as a check and balance on every government. While we cover a variety of topics, our primary focus is on the most pressing issues of this century – healthcare and the environment - as our lives increasingly fall prey to cancerous illnesses and global warming. We are committed to autonomy and transparency, striving to be objective and fair. Our goal is to be unbiased opinion-makers, with our audience and the public interest at the forefront of everything we do.

The core mission of Preiskovalno.si media outlet is to highlight the stories of people without connections, without political pedigree, and those on the fringes. We will demand answers from those in power to your questions and highlight critical situations in society. We will write candidly about who responds and who does not. Which politicians are truly in service of the people and strive for social justice, and which are unresponsive and indifferent to voters and media inquiries. We will carefully document the progress of stories and strive to bring them to a conclusion. It will be easy to see which mayors, ministers, and public officials are responsive and which political parties have an agenda that resonates with the people.

In addition to your stories, Preiskovalno.si will also focus on the most pressing issues of this century: healthcare and the environment. Perhaps less clicked-on stories, but crucial for a society where cancer-related deaths are common.

Preiskovalno.si will be a beacon of truth. A beacon of autonomous and transparent journalism, where we will adopt an active, yet apolitical stance towards current social events, without exception. Media is indeed the crown of any society, creating life patterns and setting the rules of social behavior. With the media, people live and die. Literally and figuratively, as the power of the pen can be more consequential than the power of the sword. The media holds the power of the fourth estate or the seventh force, and the exposed supervisory and critical function of journalism maintains the foundations of a healthy society. The Constitution of the Republic of Slovenia guarantees us freedom of expression, speech, public appearance, the press, and other forms of public communication and expression in its Article 39. "Everyone may freely collect, receive, and disseminate information and opinions. Everyone has the right to obtain information of a public nature in which they have a lawful interest as provided by law." A journalist's professional duty is to expose deviant actions, anomalies of those in power, and representatives of key institutions in society and inform the public about them.

And this is the power and responsibility of Preiskovalno.si. A journalist's moral compass is the golden pendulum that keeps us within the realm of justice and law, directing and limiting our freedom of expression, which is responsible freedom. Freedom of expression indeed entails great responsibility, freedom for responsible action. Only with autonomy can a journalist perform their profession honestly, truthfully, and credibly. Commitment to these basic tenets and values rests on the journalist's free choice to be responsible and to answer key questions in society. To weigh them, assess them, put them in context, and present them to the public's needs, demand systemic changes, and respond appropriately.

A journalist can only do all this in a media outlet where they are not trapped in an ownership relationship, where the media owner does not stifle their values with demands to serve economic and political interests but allows them a sovereign and responsible stance. Otherwise, as top Slovenian writer and French laureate Drago Jančar wrote years ago, it all leads "not only to controlled and directed media but also to a controlled society ruled by moguls and their lawyers, assisted by politicians and well-paid journalists." And here is the commitment of Preiskovalno.si, that the goal will be the reader, viewer, listener, in short, the person who will be a moral law and not prey. A fresh media paradigm without apocalyptic sensationalism, committed to the public good, tolerance, and enlightened ideas.

Objectivity, fairness, and public interest are our principles. And
