A Longitudinal Analysis of the Media Representation of Disabled People on 24sata.hr from 2010 to 2019

Ovaj rad govori o osobama s invaliditetom i načinu na koji je portal 24sata izvještavao o njima u periodu od 10 godina. Istraživanja o osobama s invaliditetom nema mnogo, a osim toga, o njima se u svakodnevnoj konverzaciji govori s negativnom konotacijom, koju je potrebno izbaciti iz upotrebe što je prije moguće. Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je uvidjeti u kojoj se mjeri i na koji način izvještavalo o osobama s invaliditetom od 1. siječnja 2010. do 31. prosinca 2019. godine. Uz pomoć ključnih riječi, deset hipoteza i analitičke matrice, došlo se do zaključka kako se najčešće piše o oštećenju koje ima osoba s invaliditetom, da novinari poznaju ispravnu terminologiju kada izvještavaju o njima, da se za vrijeme blagdana o njima ne piše više nego u drugim mjesecima kroz godinu, da se o njima piše u pozitivnom tonu, kao i da su članci o njima najčešće objavljivani u rubrici News/vijesti. Osim toga, uglavnom članci o osobama s invaliditetom sadrže njihove fotografije, a na njima su sami što onda može izazvati sažaljenje kod čitatelja, a to se treba izbjegavati. Rijetki su članci imali izjave osoba s invaliditetom u člancima u kojima se o njima pisalo. Novinarke su češće pisale o uspjesima i toplim ljudskim pričama, a novinari o incidentima i kriminalnim djelima.This paper discusses about people with disabilities and the way that news portal, 24sata reports about them over a period of 10 years. There is not much research on people with disabilities, and in addition, in everyday conversation people tend to speak about them with a negative connotation, which should be removed from use as soon as possible. This research is aimed to see in which way journalist wrote about people with disabilities from 1st of January 2010 to 31st of December 2019. With the help of keywords, ten hypotheses, and an analytical matrix, it was concluded that most often is written about the disability of a person with a disability, that journalists know the correct terminology when reporting on them, that they don’t write much about them around holidays, as opposed to other months through the year, that they are written about in a positive tone, as well as that articles about them are most often published in the News section. In addition, articles about people with disabilities usually contain their photos and they are on them alone, which can then cause pity in the reader, and this should be avoided. Rare articles have had statements of people with disabilities in articles about them. Female journalists more often wrote about successes and warm human stories, and male journalists about incidents and criminal acts
