The issue of terminology is one of the most important in journalism. It is not quite true, however.
Practice shows that people are very sensitive to what they are called.
I am not indifferent to, say, what I or my motherland are called. When some media refuse to call my motherland South Ossetia, I find it very unpleasant. Such trifles triggered the situation we are now in. I cannot but confirm that the role of journalists in both inciting and in extinguishing conflicts is very important. Professor Lange has said that journalists are the mediators between the government and the public.
