20.500.12556/RUL-152108 Silencing journalists in matters of public interest journalists and editors assessments of the impact of SLAPPs on journalism This study builds on the hierarchy of influences model and the concept of the chilling effect to investigate how strategic lawsuits against public participation (SLAPPs) affect journalism, directly and indirectly. Based on the semi-structured interviews with Slovenian journalists and editors targeted by SLAPPs, and with their newsroom colleagues, it reveals inconsistencies between the respondents’ expressed awareness of the impact of SLAPPs on their work and their perception of the broader impacts. By examining how SLAPPs interact with the various professional and personal circumstances of journalists and editors, and with the political, economic and regulatory context, toward a potentially deterring outcome, the article contributes evidence on factors that strengthen or mitigate the possible chilling effect of SLAPPs, for both targeted and non-targeted journalists and editors. The research findings add to the empirical knowledge of the emerging body of research on SLAPPs in anticipation of European and national anti-SLAPP regulation. chilling effect influences on journalists journalism SLAPPs anti-SLAPP directive novinarstvo novinarji pravni spori true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2023-11-03 13:10:43 2023-11-03 13:10:48 2025-08-08 13:30:24 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 Str. 2485–2503 iss. 12 Vol. 25 2024 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 070 1464-8849 10.1177/14648849231210695 170749699 kersevan-poler-2023-silencing-journalists-in-matters-of-public-interest-journalists-and-editors-assessments-of-the.pdf kersevan-poler-2023-silencing-journalists-in-matters-of-public-interest-journalists-and-editors-assessments-of-the.pdf 1 841780B3F62EC5AE4E4DB42C587F91C1 c89c80f12baee51d67d0565b43e852b040fd4d35d9988653d7d31a649ddc4fe0 3b76ac29-ac9f-11ef-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=196261 https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/14648849231210695 0 46c3b443-7a42-11ee-b3b5-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=177388 Fakulteta za družbene vede 0 0 0
