Abstract

Rad istražuje političku komunikaciju predsjednice Kolinde Grabar-Kitarović kroz njezine medijske istupe o putovanju u Ameriku tijekom prosinca 2016. i siječnja 2017. Riječ je o putu koji je izazvao burnu reakciju medija. Rad se temelji se na analizi članaka 10 hrvatskih portala, koji su bili najčitaniji u siječnju 2017. i istražuje obilježja komunikacije Grabar-Kitarović s medijima. U teorijskom dijelu je objašnjena ovisnost politike o medijima, odnosno medijatizacije politike i potreba da vlast profesionalizira svoju komunikaciju. No još ne postoji definicija dobre komunikacije tijela izvršnih vlasti i to predstavlja velik istraživački izazov. Analiza komunikacije predsjednice Kolinde Grabar-Kitarović je pokazala kako se nije snašla u krizi. Izbjegavala je pitanja medija što je odavalo dojam da opstruira pravo javnosti na pristup informacijama. Time je prekršila nekoliko zakona te pokazala nedostatak retoričkih vještina. Predsjednica je također izgubila vjerodostojnost jer je mijenjala svoje tvrdnje tijekom medijskih istupa i prebacivala krivicu na dužnosnike iz hrvatskog veleposlanstva.

Abstract (english)

This paper examines political communication of President Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović throughout her media performances about trip to the United States of America during December 2016 and January 2017. It was a trip which caused great reaction among Croatian media. The paper is based on analysis top ten most visited Croatian news sites in January 2017 and explores characteristics of communication Grabar-Kitarović with media. In theoretical part of paper it is discussed about political dependence on media, i.e. mediatization of politics and need for professionalization of goverment communication. Yet there si no proper definition of communication executive authority and that represents big challenge for researchers in the field of political communication. Communication analysis of President Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović shows us she did not react well in crisis. She avoided media questions which led the impression that she was obstructing public right to know. Thereby she showed a lack of rhetorical skills and violated few laws. Also the President lost credibility because it there was no consistency in her media statements and shifted her blame for unpreparedness on officials from Croatian embassy.
