Abstract

Ovaj rad analizira medijski diskurs o islamu u Hrvatskoj na primjeru tri hrvatska news portala: 24sata.hr, Index.hr i Večernji.hr. Svrha analize je dobiti uvid u medijsku prezentaciju i sliku islama u Hrvatskoj. Također, naglasak rada je na moći komunikacije odnosno diskursa pri formuliranju stavova pojedinaca. Hipoteza je kako je diskurs o islamu negativnog karaktera s pregršt predrasuda i stereotipa te kako je ovaj diskurs u svoj suštini izrazito rasistički. Istraživanje je provedeno na uzorku od 48 članaka sva tri portala u periodu od 1. siječnja do 30. lipnja 2017. Članci su odabrani upisom termina islam i muslimani u tražilice portala i analizirani kvalitativnom metodom kritičke analize diskursa. Rezultati su u slučaju 24sata.hr i Večernji hr. potvrdili osnovnu hipotezu u cijelosti, dok je u slučaju Index.hr potvrda hipoteze djelomična. Smatram kako razlozi ovakvog prikaza islama leže u geopolitičkim i ekonomskim interesima velesila, sukladno s korištenim teorijama.

Abstract (english)

This paper analyzes media discourse about Islam in Croatia. Three Croatian news portals were analyzed: 24sata.hr, Index.hr and Večernji.hr. The purpose of the anlysis is to get insight into the media presentation of Islam in Croatia. Also one of the main themes of this paper is the power that communication or rather discourse has on the opinions of individuals. The main hypothesis is that the discourse about Islam has a negative character, that many stereotypes and types of prejudice are used and that this discourse is, in its essence, racist. The analysis was conducted on a sample of 48 news articles from all three portals in the period from January 1. until June 30. 2017. The articles are selected by typing Islam or Muslims in the portals search bars and analyzed using critical discourse analysis, a qualitative method. The results confirmed the hypothesis completely in the case of 24sata.hr i Večernji.hr and were partially confirmed in the case of index.hr. It is my opinion that the reason for portraying Islam in this way lay in the geopolitical, strategic and economic interests of superpowers as stated in the theory used.
