Abstract

Ovim istraživanjem analizirano je kako dva vodeća novinska portala u Hrvatskoj izvještavaju o femicidu te vode li se pritom etičkim načelima struke. Kvantitativna analiza sadržaja obuhvatila je 77 novinskih članaka s portala večernji.hr i jutarnji.hr u 2023-oj godini. Rezultati istraživanja pokazali su da se femicid uglavnom prikazuje bez konteksta prijašnjeg nasilja, a u 75% slučajeva fokus je na samom činu ubojstva. U 92% tekstova ne navodi se je li nasilje bilo ranije prijavljivano što također ukazuje na nedostatak konteksta u novinarskom izvještavanju. Senzacionalizam u analiziranim tekstovima ponajprije se očituje kroz naslove i leksičke pojačivače. Kad je riječ o identificiranju žrtava u novinskim tekstovima, u gotovo jednoj trećini slučajeva identificirane su imenom i prezimenom unatoč smjernicama koje nalažu zaštitu identiteta. Iako postoje primjeri svjesnosti o kompleksnosti problema, rezultati ukazuju na potrebu za dubljim razumijevanjem i prikazivanjem femicida u on-line medijima s ciljem odgovornijeg i etičnijeg izvještavanja.

Abstract (english)

This research analyzed how two leading news portals in Croatia report on femicide and whether they adhere to ethical professional standards. The quantitative content analysis included 77 news articles from the portals večernji.hr and jutarnji.hr in 2023. The research results showed that femicide is mostly presented without the context of prior violence, with 75% of the articles focusing on the act of murder itself. In 92% of the texts, it was not mentioned whether the violence had been previously reported, further indicating a lack of context in journalistic reporting. Sensationalism in the analyzed texts was primarily evident through headlines and lexical intensifiers. Regarding the identification of victims in the news articles, in nearly one-third of the cases, they were identified by full name, despite guidelines calling for the protection of identity. Although there are examples of awareness of the complexity of the issue, the results point to the need for a deeper understanding and portrayal of femicide in the media, aiming for more responsible and ethical reporting.
