Analiza koroškega časopisa Prepih: vloga v lokalnem novinarstvu in razlogi za prenehanje izhajanja : magistrsko delo

Polanc, Urška (author), Amon Prodnik, Jernej (mentor)

Lokalno novinarstvo ima v razviti družbi poglavitno vlogo, ko od spodaj navzgor skrbi za obveščenost in (ne)posredno spodbuja angažiranost prebivalstva. S tem, ko ljudstvu daje glas in v poročanje vključuje tudi najmanjšo vaško skupnost, krepi in združuje lokalno zavest. Namen magistrske naloge je ugotoviti pomen, vlogo koroškega lokalnega časopisa Prepih (1991–2003) za regijo, s kakšnimi težavami se je soočal in zakaj je prenehal izhajati. V prvem delu sem predstavila teoretična izhodišča, zasnovana na podlagi literature o lokalnih medijih, lokalnih novicah. V drugem, empiričnem delu pa sem predstavila raziskovalni pristop, ki temelji na podatkih, pridobljenih s pregledom določenih izvodov Prepiha in s polstrukturiranimi intervjuji, v katerih so sodelovali ustvarjalci, novinarji medija. Rezultati so pokazali, da je obravnavani časopis izpolnjeval vse vloge lokalnega medija, prav tako pa se je spopadal s težavami, ki so v lokalnem novinarstvu znane še danes. K temu, da je časopis prenehal izhajati, je privedlo več dejavnikov, poglavitni pa je bil ekonomske narave.

• Title: Analysis of the Carinthian newspaper Prepih: role in local journalism and reasons for ceasing publication

Abstract

Local journalism plays a vital role in a developed society by providing grassroots information and (in)directly fostering public engagement. It strengthens and unites local identity by amplifying community voices and involving even the smallest villages in reporting. The aim of this master's thesis is to examine the significance and role of the local newspaper Prepih in the region, the challenges it faced, and the reasons behind its discontinuation. The first part presents the theoretical framework, drawing on literature related to local media and news. The second part outlines the research methodology, based on data collected through review of selected issues of Prepih and semi-structured interviews with the newspaper’s creators and journalists. The findings indicate that Prepih fulfilled all the essential functions of a local media outlet but also encountered challenges that continue to affect local journalism today. Several factors contributed to its closure, the primary one being economic difficulties.
