Dječji domovi u hrvatskom tisku u 2012. godini: Analiza Jutarnjeg lista i Večernjeg lista
Children's Homes in the Croatian Press in 2012: an Analysis of Jutarnji list and Večernji list

Summary/Abstract: Children in the media is a popular topic in the literature on media literacy, but results indicate that much of the media content is not written in accordance with the existing legislation. This paper presents research on children's homes in the Croatian newspapers Jutarnji list and Večernji list in the period from 1 January to 31 December 2012. We conduct a content analysis that includes 60 newspaper articles about children's homes. The total number directly indicates that the coverage of children's homes as a relevant social issue is lacking. Both media and its audience must be more responsible in the context of reporting about children's homes. Therefore, this paper aims to point out the need for a special sensibility when reporting on children's homes, but also the greater need for the equal treatment of children connected to all social groups in the media.
