The article discusses theoretical foundations, similarities and differences between "integral research" and "integral journalism." By their very nature, both social research and journalism directly belong to the public sphere by dealing with social processes that have significant, long-term consequences for many individuals and social groups. Whereas integral research emphasises the need of inclusion of academic and non-academic actors in the research process, integral journalism emphasises refl exive publicity aimed at citizens' inclusion. The idea of integral research is essentially both a descriptive and normative one: it refers to the need for integration of existing modes of production of scientific knowledge. In contrast, the idea of integral journalism is purely normative: it justifies the necessity of a certain type of journalistic production because "it is time for it" rather than interconnection between different types of journalistic productions which are exclusive rather than complementary. Both in research and journalism, a lack of reflexivity allows for domination of instrumentality of administrative research and manipulative journalism.
