Abstract

Ovaj akademski rad pisan je kao diplomski rad na studiju politologije. Centralna tematika je odnos medija prema politikama vlasti u doba argentinske ekonomske krize od 1998. do 2002., a osnovna svrha rada je postizanje odgovora na postavljeno istraživačko pitanje: jesu li argentinski tiskani mediji podržavali državnu ekonomsku politiku u doba krize ili nisu? Početna je hipoteza da mediji nisu podržavali politiku vlasti. Rad je pisan u namjeri da se pokuša pobliže opisati utjecaj medijskog izvještavanja na rezultat političkog djelovanja. Autorica koristi istraživanje Maryane Eberle-Blaylock 'Political and economic news during the Argentine crisis of 2000-2002: An agenda-setting analysis of major newspaper coverage', kao glavni izvor podataka. Rad je organiziran u nekoliko poglavlja. Nakon uvoda, drugo poglavlje se bavi zaleđem ekonomske krize, poglavlje opisuje pet desetljeća političkog života u Argentini do izbijanja krize početkom milenija. Treće poglavlje opisuje metodologiju i pristup istraživanju, dok u četvrtom poglavlju autorica izvodi dokaze prema istraživanju Eberle-Blaylock. U petom poglavlju dokaze tumači i uspoređuje kako bi u zaključnom segmentu mogla obraniti hipotezu i odgovoriti na istraživačko pitanje. Dokazano je postojanje pristranog ponašanja, mediji pri izvještavanju najčešće konotiraju vlast i politiku sa negativnim. Rad spominje i kompromitirane tonove izvještavanja tiskanih medija u Argentini i moguće bitne faktore koji utječu na kvalitetu vijesti.

Abstract (english)

Written as a master thesis for postgraduate studies in Political Sciences, the central theme is the media relationship towards goverment policy during the Argentine economic crisis between the years 1998 and 2002. The aim of this paper is to answer the posed research question: did the Argentine print media support the state's economic policy in the time of the crisis or not? The starting hypothesis is that the media did not support the state's economic policy. This paper has been written in an effort to portrait from up-close the influence of media reporting on the results of governing behaviour. The author is using the research from Maryane Eberle-Blaylock 'Political and economic news during the Argentine crisis of 2000-2002: An agenda-setting analysis of major newspaper coverage', as the main source of data. The paper has been organized in several sections. After the introduction, the second chapter focuses on the historical background of the economic crisis, using a review of five decades of Argentinian politics to contextualise the economic crisis in question. The third chapter is dedicated to methodology and the overall approach to the research while the fourth chapter weighs up evidence that is touched upon in the work of Maryane Eberle-Blaylock. In the fifth chapter, the author is intreperting and comparing evidence so that she can defend the starting hypothesis and give answer to the research question in the final segment of this paper. While this paper also explores the compromised tones in print media reporting in Argentina and the possible influential factors that affect the quality of news, biased behaviour is proven. The media’s most usual connotation while reporting about the government and its policy is of negative nature.
