Abstract

Sažetak
U ovom radu smo istraživali način izvještavanja hrvatskih novinara o samoubojstvu, na primjeru Jutarnjeg lista, Večernjeg lista i 24 sata. S obzirom na to da je samoubojstvo ozbiljan problem, ali i vrlo komplicirana tema za izvještavanje, prilikom pisanja članaka, novinari trebaju slijediti određene smjernice kako ne bi došlo do copycat efekta ili efekta sekundarne viktimizacije. Analiza sadržaja je pritom pokazala da novinari nerijetko koriste senzacionalističke naslove, tekstove bez stručnih izvora te da često navode detalje samoubojstva, poput lokacije i metode suicida. Ono što je potrebno napraviti kako bi se situacija promijenila je objasniti kako novinarima, tako i njihovim urednicima te ostalim medijskim profesionalcima koji određuju kako će vijest o samoubojstvu biti obrađena u novinama, što posljedice pogrešnog izvještavanja mogu uzrokovati te da je dužnost novinara slijediti smjernice koje mogu pomoći ljudima da potraže pomoć.

Abstract (english)

In this paper , we investigated how journalists report suicide in croatian daily newspaper Jutarnji List, Večernji list and 24 satahours. Given that suicide is a serious problem, but also very complicated topic to report on, journalists should follow certain guidelines when writing articles so that copycat effect and the effect of secondary victimization do not occur. Content analysis has shown that journalists often use sensationalist titles, texts without expert sources, and often mention details of suicides, such as location and suicide method. What needs to be done to change this situation is to explain to journalists, their editors, and other media professionals who determine how news of suicide will be published, what misrepresentation can cause and that it is the duty of journalists to follow guidelines that can show people who struggle with suicidal thoughts where to seek help.
