Abstract

Diplomski rad Percepcija medijskog izvještavanja o LGBTIQ manjinskim skupinama iz perspektive pripadnika LGBTIQ zajednice za cilj je imao istražiti stavove pripadnika LGBTIQ zajednice o načinu na koji hrvatski mediji izvještavaju o LGBTIQ osobama i temama. U radu je sudjelovalo ukupno devetnaest pripadnika LGBTIQ zajednice. Glavna metoda u ovome istraživanju bio je intervju te su sugovornici imali mogućnost biranja podnošenja svojih odgovora u pismenoj ili usmenoj formi. Kako bi se zaštitio identitet sugovornika, svi odgovori su zabilježeni pod pseudonimom. Rezultati istraživanja ukazuju na to kako većina pripadnika LGBTIQ zajednice kao glavni izvor informacija koristi internet i društvene mreže dok tradicionalnim medijima poput televizije, radija i novina pada popularnost. Općeniti stav sugovornika je kako hrvatski mediji nedovoljno redovito izvještavaju o LGBTIQ zajednici te kako je kvaliteta izvještavanja na niskoj razini. Glavni problemi koje pripadnici LGBTIQ zajednice ističu su nedovoljno dobro poznavanje LGBTIQ terminologije te dehumanizacija LGBTIQ osoba u svrhu postizanja što veće tiraže medija. Međutim, sugovornici su se složili kako postoje i pozitivne prakse u vidu porasta davanja medijskog prostora LGBTIQ osobama i smanjenju otvorene diskriminacije u hrvatskim medijima. Većina sugovornika se slaže kako je utjecaj medija veoma bitan prilikom razvoja identiteta kod mladih LGBTIQ osoba te kako su mediji imali veliki utjecaj na razvoj njihova identiteta. Upravo iz toga razloga većina sugovornika slaže se kako je način na koji mediji izvještavaju o LGBTIQ osobama i temama veoma bitan te kako su edukacija medijskih djelatnika i prozivanje svakog oblika diskriminacije u medijima jedini ispravni načini za poboljšanje načina na koji mediji izvještavaju o LGBTIQ manjinskim skupinama.

Abstract (english)

The thesis, Perception of media coverage of LGBTIQ minority groups from the LGBTIQ community perspective deals with the opinions of the members of the LGBTIQ community about the way the Croatian media covers LGBTIQ topics. During the research, nineteen members of the LGBTIQ community have been interviewed. The participants of the research were able to submit their answers in both face-to-face or written form. To protect the identity of the participants, all answers were recorded under aliases. The results showed that most of the participants use the internet and social networks as their main source of information and that the popularity of traditional media is decreasing. Most of the participants agree that the Croatian media doesn't cover LGBTIQ topics as frequently as it should and that the general quality of the coverage of such topics is poor. The main issues which are emphasised by the participants include incorrect usage of LGBTIQ terminology and the dehumanization of LGBTIQ persons in favour of media profit. However, the participants also agree that there are some cases of positive practices which include the rise in visibility of LGBTIQ persons in the media and the decrease in apparent discrimination. Most of the participants agree that the media is very important when it comes to the development of the self-identity in the young LGBTIQ people and that the media had a very important role in the development of their self-identity. For that reason, most of the participants agree that the way the media covers topics related to the LGBTIQ community is very important and that the only way to improve the current situation is to educate media workers and to openly stand against every kind of discrimination in the media.
