Slow journalism has emerged as a response to the acceleretion of contemporary society, information overload, increasing time pressures and the superficiality of media reporting. This master's thesis examines the extent to which prinicples and practices of slow journalism are present in the journalistic landscape in Slovenia. The theoretical part discusses social acceleration, time pressure, information overload, the impact of digital technologies and social media and the fundamental characteristics of slow journalism. The empirical part is based on qualitative research conducted through semi-structured interviews with journalists from various Slovenian media outlets who work in more in-depth and investigative journalistic formats. The findings indicate that the concept of slow journalism is not widely recognized among the interviewees. Nevertheless, their work incorporates certain practices that reflect some of its characteristics. At the same time, the interviews confirm that even more in-depth forms of journalism operate under conditions of time pressure. Although there is potential for slow journalism in Slovenia, it is limited by the small size of the media market and uncertain financial conditions.
