Based on a survey among political journalists and Members of Parliament in Belgium, Norway and Sweden we ask how "intimate" the relationship between these two groups really is, and if the informality of the relationship also influences the image they have of one another. Our study shows that the degree of informality differs significantly between the three countries, where the Swedes have less informal contact. We believe this country difference can be mainly attributed to the higher degree of political professionalisation. Unlike Nimmo (1964) our analysis does not suggest that the more informal the relationship is, the less suspicious journalists or politicians are towards the other group. Rather our results seem to show that trust and suspicion go hand in handČlanek predstavlja empirično študijo odnosa med politiki in novinarji, izvedeno v treh evropskih državah. Anketa med političnimi novinarji in člani belgijskega, norveškega in švedskega parlamenta, raziskuje, kako "intimen" je dejanski odnos med temi skupinami in ali neformalnost odnosa vpliva tudi na podobo, ki jo imajo eni o drugih. Študija kaže, da se stopnja neformalnosti odnosov med obema skupinama v izbranih državah bistveno razlikuje; najmanj neformalnih stikov imajo na Švedskem. Razliko med državami gre v največji meri pripisati višji stopnji politične profesionalizacije. Za razliko od Nimma (1964) ta analiza ne podpira teze, da bolj kot je odnos neformalen, manj sumničavi postajajo eni do drugih. Bolj kot to namreč rezultati nakazujejo, da gresta zaupanje in sum z roko v rokiTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaEvropski inštitut za komuniciranje in kulturo - EURICOM
