20.500.12556/RUL-163492 From criticism to anger and hate the vulgarisation of digital anti-press criticism on news outlets' Facebook pages This paper explores audiences’ hateful responses towards journalists and the media in news stories about migrants and LGBT-related topics in three of the most popular national news outlets’ Facebook pages in Slovenia. Theoretically the paper is situated within the theory of metajournalistic discourse, and it argues that various forms of online harassment and the vulgarization of anti-press criticism could be considered as a form of boundary work that occurs though metajournalistic discourse. The qualitative research of 314 comments shows that, in the analysed comments, (negative) emotional audience’s responses dominate and that rational criticism is prevailingly replaced with emotional cynicism or harassment of journalists and the media. In this context, a typology of emotional responses is proposed and a thesis about the vulgarisation of digital anti-press criticism is advanced. journalism metajournalistic discourse digital press criticism journalistic boundaries online harassment refugees LGBT novinarstvo mediji spletni komentarji sovražni govor Slovenija true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2024-10-07 14:01:29 2024-10-07 14:01:32 2026-03-19 12:28:53 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 0 Str. 11–29 no. 1 Vol. 14 2026 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 070 2167-0811 10.1080/21670811.2024.2397080 209315843 From_Criticism_to_Anger_and_Hate__The_Vulgarisation_of_Digital_Anti-Press_Criticism_on_News_Outlets__Facebook_Pages.pdf From_Criticism_to_Anger_and_Hate__The_Vulgarisation_of_Digital_Anti-Press_Criticism_on_News_Outlets__Facebook_Pages.pdf 1 D6475C5D53776207F0DFED2CDE2AB781 2c6f3f10f0e2d3b2be8ad9ab5edd858c81fb85be670ea8d18b7973f923090b50 39265145-22c4-11f1-b0ab-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=230802 https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/21670811.2024.2397080 0 3ab2468c-84a4-11ef-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=193217 Fakulteta za družbene vede 0 0 0
