Abstract

Suvremeno novinarstvo trenutno se suočava s krizom na dvije razine. Redakcijske prakse izmijenile su sustav informativnih vrijednosti što je dovelo do uključivanja karakteristika vijesti koje nemaju ništa s temeljima novinarstva. Ta kontaminacija vrijednosti vijesti dodatno je i utjecala na gubitak povjerenja građana u novinare i medije. Kako bi se suočili s krizom, urednici i novinari u Danskoj osmislili su pristup konstruktivnog novinarstva s ciljem da novinare vrate na pravi put i ponovno naglase temeljne vrijednosti novinarstva – ispravno i relevantno izvještavanje i pružanje cjelovite slike svijeta. Konstruktivni pristup ima temelje u pozitivnoj psihologiji, a u praksi se iskazuje kroz izvještavanje o napretku i rješenjima u društvu nasuprot ustaljenom iznošenju problema i tragedija. Međutim, konstruktivno novinarstvo se pokazuje kao iznimno širok pojam, a kao pristup i dalje nije dovoljno jasno definirano što predstavlja problem u njegovoj implementaciji u redakcije. U radu se iznose glavni koraci u primjeni konstruktivnog pristupa u redakciju nastali na temelju razgovora sa sedam vodećih teoretičara, urednika i novinara na području konstruktivnog novinarstva. Na primjerima iz dosadašnje prakse utvrđeni su i reprezentativni narativi (dramska struktura) novinarskih priča koji zadovoljavaju kriterije konstruktivnog pristupa. U konačnici su prepoznata i tri ključna koraka u budućem razvoju konstruktivnog novinarstva – detaljnije definiranje pristupa, uspostava jasnog cilja i obrazloženje održivosti kroz istraživanja dosadašnje prakse i financijske isplativosti pristupa.

Abstract (english)

Modern journalism is currently facing a two-level crisis. The editorial practices have changed the news values system, which has led to the incorporation of news values that have nothing to do with the foundation of journalism. This contamination of news values has further contributed to the loss of citizen trust in journalists and in the media. To deal with the crisis, editors and journalists in Denmark developed the constructive journalism approach to bring journalists back to the right path and emphasize the core values of journalism - proper and relevant reporting and providing a complete picture of the world. The constructive approach has foundations in positive psychology, while in practice it is manifested in reporting on progress and solutions in the society opposed to the constant reporting about problems and tragedies. However, constructive journalism is an extremely broad concept, and as an approach it has still not been clearly defined, which is the main problem when it comes to its implementation in the newsroom. This paper presents the necessary main steps in the application of the constructive approach in the newsroom which are based on discussions with seven leading theoreticians, editors and journalists in the field of constructive journalism. The examples from previous practice have been used to also identify journalistic story narratives (story structure) that meet the criteria of the constructive approach. Finally, three key steps in the future development of constructive journalism have been recognized – the more detailed definition of the approach, the establishment of a clear goal and the justification of its sustainability through research of current practice and financial viability.
