Levels of professionalism and professional efficacy among journalists in Ireland

Department of Mass Communication, Southwest Texas State University, 601 University Drive, San Marcos, TX 78666, U.S.A.

Ireland's social, cultural, religious and political ethos has restricted the country's press freedom. This ethos, combined with a long history of colonialism, could mean that Irish journalists would have low levels of professionalism and of professional efficacy. This research attempted to determine how Irish journalists rated on professionalism and efficacy. Primary and secondary sources were used. A cross-sectional survey of a representative sample of Irish journalists found that they rate high on both levels of professionalism and nonprofessionalism. They also rate high on levels of professional efficacy. However, a halo effect may be manifest as the measures are not flawless.
