This article examines Soviet Journalism under four aspects ; namely, the concept of news, the functions and principles of news, and freedom of speech. Through content analysis of newspapers and the definition of news, it becomes clear that "news" in the Soviet Union is goal-oriented information aimed at the building up of socialism and the diffusion of party policies, rather than the reporting of events. Therefore, great emphasis is placed on political and economic "news." It can also be pointed out that commentary, education and the organization of movements are emphasized as the functions of journalism, and its principles are party-, people- and mass-oriented. Furthermore, the interpretation of freedom of the press is different from that in the western countries. Journalistic activities are not free from political power but free to pursue goals toward social and historical progress. On the whole, journalism in the Soviet Union is a means to diffuse political information and to realize party policies and therefore is strongly politically oriented in its nature.
