Abstract

Posljednjih godina sve više smo svjedoci učestalijih doping skandala u profesionalnom i vrhunskom sportu. Budući da ga nazivaju najvećim zlom modernog sporta, o dopingu se raspravlja više nego prijašnjih godina, a koraci da se isti iskorijeni sve su glasniji. Usprkos svim represivnim odlukama koje se provode doping kontrolama i antidopinškim zakonima, oni koji se bore protiv dopinga svjesni su da je za iskorijene i sprečavanje upotrebe dopinga potrebna edukacija i informiranje šire javnosti. Uloga medija u ovom slučaju je velika. Stoga je namjera ovog rada Analiza objava o dopingu na domaćim news portalima otkriti na koji način pet najčitanijih news portala u Hrvatskoj pišu o dopingu u sportu. Istraživanje u okviru rada pokušalo je uvidjeti koliko pažnje masovni mediji pridaju ovoj temi te s kakvim informacijama raspolažu prilikom pisanja članaka. Rezultati istraživanja daju odgovor na tri hipoteze postavljene prije njegova istraživanja te daju uvid u narav i djelovanje masovnih medija u Hrvatskoj, na primjeru analize članaka o dopingu u sportu.

Abstract (english)

In recent years we are increasingly witnessing more frequent doping scandals in professional and top-level sports. Since they call it the biggest evil of modern sport, doping is being discussed more than it was in the past few years, and the steps to eradicate it are more louder. Despite all the repressive decisions that are being implemented by doping controls and anti-doping laws, those who are fighting doping are aware that the education and information to the general public is needed for the eradication and prevention of doping. The role of the mass media in this case is enormous. Therefore, the purpose of this paper Media representation of doping on Croatian news portals reveals how the five most popular news portals in Croatia write about doping in sports. The research explored how much attention the mass media attach to this topic and what information they have when writing articles. The results of the research give an answer to the three hypotheses set before the research and provide an insight into the nature and performance of mass media in Croatia, on the example of analysis of articles on doping in sports.
