The Media and Social Aspects of Conflicts between Supporters and the Management of GNK Dinamo Zagreb (2006 - 2017)

Ovim diplomskim radom pokušalo se istražiti kako je sukob navijača i uprave kluba GNK Dinamo Zagreb bio medijski popraćen, koji je bio njegov utjecaj na društvo te jesu li u njega uključeni i neki drugi akteri. Taj je sukob bio aktualan i za vrijeme pisanja ovog rada, a zbog popularnosti kluba i specifične osobnosti Zdravka Mamića, najvažnijeg čovjeka u Dinamu, u Hrvatskoj je uživao veliku pozornost javnosti. Metode kojima se provodilo istraživanje su kvantitativna i kvalitativna analiza sadržaja. Rad sadrži i kronološki poredak bitnijih događaja koji su obilježili sukob, a šest najvažnijih izdvojeno je te je na temelju njih napravljeno kvantitativno istraživanje. U kvalitativno istraživanje uključeni su bili svi novinski i internet članci koji su bili povezani s ovom temom od početka sukoba 2006. godine do trenutka pisanja rada. Dobiveni rezultati pokazali su kako su mediji (tisak i portali) ovom sukobu davali značajnu pažnju te su ga pratili s velikim intenzitetom. Pokušalo se i odrediti jesu li novinari bili usredotočeni samo na pojavnost događaja vezanih uz sukob, no tu hipotezu nije bilo moguće potvrditi sa sigurnošću. Rezultati su također dokazali uključenost političkih aktera u ovaj sukob. Nogomet je vrlo popularan u Hrvatskoj, a navijači su bitna subkultura te je stoga i u budućnosti važno provoditi istraživanja na tom području.This graduate thesis attempted to investigate how the clash of fans and management of the club Dinamo Zagreb was accompanied by media, which was its influence on society and whether other actors were involved. This conflict was ongoing during the writing of this work, and due to the popularity of the club and the specific personality of Zdravko Mamic, the most important man in Dinamo, it enjoyed great public attention in Croatia. The methods used in the research are quantitative and qualitative content analysis. The work also contains a chronological order of major events that marked the conflict, and the six most important ones were isolated and based on them a quantitative survey was conducted. Qualitative research included all news and internet articles that were related to this topic since the conflict started in 2006 until the writing of the paper. The obtained results showed that the media (press and portals) gave this conflict considerable attention and followed it with great intensity. It was also tried to determine whether journalists were focused solely on the occurrence of conflicts, but this hypothesis could not be confirmed with certainty. The results also demonstrated the involvement of political actors in this conflict. Football is very popular in Croatia, and fans are an important subculture and therefore it is important to conduct research in that area in the future
