20.500.12556/RUL-165021 Towards a more democratic forum source analysis of news reporting on older people's problems in Delo during the Slovenian parliamentary elections from 2004 to 2018 Prema demokratičnijem forumu While an increasing number of studies provide important insights into media construction of old age, the structure of news sources is seldom examined. The latter is especially important in democratic societies, during election years, when people elect representatives who tackle older people's social problems. Using content analysis, we examined the source structure of news articles reporting on older people's problems in the Slovenian newspaper Delo in five sequential parliamentary election years from 2004 to 2018. The findings showed that news coverage was predominantly constructed by elite sources rarely including representatives of older people. This characteristic strengthens the surveillance function of Delo but undermines its role as a democratic forum. However, during the last three observed election years, Delo's news reporting showed signs of transitioning towards a more democratic forum, which holds potential for fostering older people's civic inclusion. population ageing social problems media representations print media news reporting staranje prebivalstva družbeni problemi časniki poročanje (novinarstvo) analiza vsebine Slovenija true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Slovenija; Članek v reviji 2024-11-21 09:24:45 2024-11-21 09:24:49 2025-09-27 04:27:47 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 str. 367-388 br. 3 God. 33 2024 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 070:316.48-053.9(497.4) 1330-0288 10.5559/di.33.3.00 215008515 Gerdina_DI_koncna.pdf Gerdina_DI_koncna.pdf 1 957B36C486F82C51CC46613118E0B97B fede4dd66f551df4ca693a15bb6f6e9feb5f07b4ad281e427545c52653562ee6 b4bce22e-9aaa-11f0-9328-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=218791 https://hrcak.srce.hr/clanak/465892 0 c473c712-9aaa-11f0-9328-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=218792 Fakulteta za družbene vede 0 0 0
