Abstract

Seksualno uznemiravanje se često prešućuje, pa i onda kad se događa unutar medija koji u svom radu inače nerijetko izvještavaju o šokantnim slučajevima uznemiravanja prozivajući počinitelje i apelirajući na potrebe zaštite žrtvi, a sami u tome zakazuju. Istraživanjem se nastojalo utvrditi stvarne razmjere problema seksualnog uznemiravanja u hrvatskim medijima, a kojeg doživljavaju novinarke i novinari tijekom obavljanja novinarskog rada, unutar i izvan redakcije, od strane izvora informacija ili pak onih s kojima rade, od kolega i urednika do osoba s vrha medijske kuće za koju rade. Da problem evidentno postoji, potvrđuju rezultati provedene online ankete na 157 medijskih zaposlenika od kojih je većina u svojoj karijeri barem jednom bila seksualno uznemiravana. Pritom su gotove sve žrtve - žene, odnosno novinarke. Neprimjereno zurenje, seksistički komentari, fotografije golotinje, neželjeno dodirivanje i pozivi na seks, samo su neki od oblika uznemiravanja koje su doživjeli ispitanici, i to ne samo prilikom izvještavanja na terenu već i unutar redakcije. Naprotiv, počinitelji su u većoj mjeri u odnosu na sugovornike bili upravo kolege i urednici radi čega je tek manji broj žrtvi o proživljenoj traumi progovorio pred poslodavcem. Takvi rezultati ukazuju na prisutnost problema seksualnog uznemiravanja unutar novinarske struke, a iskustva i svjedočanstva ispitanika da je postojeća rješenja ne daju željene učinke.

Abstract (english)

Sexual harassment is often kept a secret, even when it happens within the media, which in their work on daily basis often report on shocking cases of harassment, calling out the perpetrators and appealing to the needs of the victim's protection, even though when those victims are journalists, they sometimes choose to remain silent. The research aimed to determine the real scale of the problem of sexual harassment in the Croatian media, which is experienced by journalists during their journalistic work, both inside and outside the newsroom, by sources of information or from those whom they work with – colleagues and editors but also from people on the top of the media company. That the problem evidently exists is confirmed by the results of an online survey of 157 media employees, most of whom were sexually harassed at least once in their career. At the same time, all the victims are women, that is, female journalists. Inappropriate staring, sexist comments, photos of nudity, unwanted touching and invitations to have sex are just some of the forms of harassment experienced by respondents, not only when reporting in the field but also within the newsroom. Moreover, the perpetrators were more often colleagues and editors, compared to the sources, which is why only a small number of victims spoke about the trauma they experienced in front of the employer. Such results indicate the presence of the problem of sexual harassment within the journalistic profession, and the experiences and testimonies of respondents show that the existing solutions do not produce the desired effects.
