This master thesis deals with the phenomenon of journals published by local municipalities, defined in a recent amendment to the Press Act in the legal order of the Czech Republic as "journals of territorial administrative units". According to the press law the purpose of these journals is to deliver information about the self- governing unit while providing adequate space for presenting opinions and views of all ideological spectrum of the local council. These journals were recently criticized for being abused by the ruling political representation and being misused as a form of political PR rather than an independent news platform. My research is focused on their gradual professionalization that was recently encouraged by the changes in the Czech law. The research is based on a survey of editors of these journals. In the survey I investigated the background of the content production of these journals, various aspects of their organization, details about staff editors and their reflection on the topic, as well as control mechanisms that are set to ensure the statutory requirements of objectivity and impartiality. In addition to the survey, I also present a brief case study of the Hobulet magazine, published in the Prague 7 district, which is considered to be a progressive example of the genre. The...

Face à la crise financière de 2008, l’Union européenne a intensifié la contrainte pesant sur les États dont la gestion des finances publiques est désormais strictement encadrée. Des objectifs à moyen terme leurs sont assignés dont l’irrespect peut être sanctionné par des amendes (sanctions pécuniaires) ou la perte du droit de vote (sanctions politiques). Des codes de bonne conduite, des guides et des chartes (soft law), fondés sur la mise en commun d’expériences de terrain, proposent des mesures censées favoriser leur intégration. Cette méthode uniforme et centrée sur la gestion et les instruments de maîtrise des finances publiques, devient contraignante lorsqu’elle est transposée en droit national et son assise juridique peut varier selon le degré de protection qui lui est accordée. Le droit public financier, principal vecteur de modernisation de l’État, est profondément remanié à l’aune de ces nouveaux préceptes. Dans ce contexte et au-delà, de fortes tensions pèsent sur la responsabilité financière des institutions et des décideurs publics, et particulièrement dans le secteur local, objet de la recherche. Classiquement, la responsabilité financière est une responsabilité juridique fondée sur le bon emploi des deniers publics, c’est-à-dire leur emploi régulier. Elle sanctionne exclusivement et juridictionnellement le non-respect des règles et des principes du droit public financier local établis dans l’intérêt général. Ce cadre est aujourd’hui mis en question par la gestion publique : aux préoccupations de régularité, s’ajoutent (se substituent parfois) les impératifs d’efficacité et d’efficience, principaux indicateurs de la performance publique. L’efficacité apprécie le degré de réalisation des objectifs de l'action et l’efficience étudie la relation entre les coûts et les résultats de l’action. Dès lors, la question se pose de savoir si le droit a la capacité de sanctionner selon ces critères et si cela serait pertinent. Si l’adaptation des régimes juridiques de responsabilité à ces enjeux n’a pas abouti, de vrais changements s’opèrent aujourd’hui, souvent en marge du droit. En effet, un nouveau modèle de responsabilité se met en place à tous les niveaux du secteur public. Fondé sur les notions de performance et d’autonomie asymétrique, il impose à l’ensemble des acteurs publics locaux de s’engager à atteindre un certain nombre d’objectifs préalablement fixés dont les résultats sont évalués en termes d’efficience et d’efficacité, et parfois sanctionnés. Donc plutôt que de réformer la responsabilité juridique, le choix semble fait d’adopter une vision extensive de la responsabilité financière : la responsabilité managériale, à côté de la responsabilité juridique. Cette juxtaposition de deux logiques d’essence différente, voire contradictoires, interroge sur les conditions de leur coexistence, dans un État de droit. / Faced with the financial crisis of 2008, the European Union has intensified the constraint on states whose public finance management is now strictly regulated. Medium-term objectives are assigned to them, which may result in fines (financial penalties) or loss of the right to vote (political sanctions). Codes of conduct, guides and charters (soft law), based on the sharing of experiences on the ground, propose measures to promote their integration. This uniform method, centered on management and public finance control instruments, becomes binding when it is transposed into national law and its legal basis may vary according to the degree of protection granted to it. Public financial law, the main vector of modernization of the public sector, is profoundly altered in the light of these new precepts. In this context and beyond, strong tensions weigh on the financial responsibility of public institutions and managers, including in the local sector, which is the subject of research. Classically, financial responsibility is a legal responsibility based on the good use of public funds, that is, their regular employment. It sanctions exclusively and jurisdictionally the failure to respect the rules and principles of local public financial law defined in the general interest. This framework is now called into question by the new public management (NGP): to the concerns of regularity, are added (sometimes replaced) the imperatives of effectiveness and efficiency. Effectiveness assesses the degree of achievement of the objectives of the action and efficiency studies the relationship between the costs of the action and the benefits it provides. Therefore, the question arises whether the right has the capacity to sanction according to these criteria and whether it would be relevant. If the adaptation of legal regimes of responsibility to these issues has not succeeded, real changes are taking place today, often on the margins of the law. Indeed, a new model of accountability is being put in place at all levels of the public sector. Based on the notions of performance and asymmetric autonomy, it requires all local public actors to commit themselves to achieving a number of previously defined objectives whose results are evaluated in terms of efficiency and effectiveness, And sometimes punished. So rather than reforming the legal responsibility, the choice seems to be made of adopting an extensive view of financial responsibility: managerial responsibility, alongside legal responsibility.
