Pomanjkljive informacije o Fukushimi v tujih in domačih medijih vse od jedrske nesreče leta 2011

Kos, Pia (author), Visočnik, Nataša (mentor)

To delo proučuje vpliv medijev v obliki člankov večjih medijskih hiš po svetu ter popularnih videoposnetkov na spletnem portalu YouTube. Za lažje razumevanje same situacije je v nalogi opisana tudi anketa, ki je bila izvedena na podlagi trenutnega stanja v prefekturi Fukushima in temah v povezavi z njo, kot so radiacija, radioaktivnost, evakuacija, varnost hrane in podobno. Kot bralcu oziroma gledalcu nam mediji, kot so članki ter videoposnetki, predstavljajo glaven vir aktualnih novic, ki pa jih le-ti lahko priredijo na način, ki bi nas lahko zmedel oziroma nam ustvaril napačno predstavo o določeni situaciji. Potres, cunami ter nato še jedrska nesreča v japonski prefekturi Fukushima je dogodek, o katerem še danes slišimo dokaj pogosto, saj je situacija podobna tisti, ki se je leta 1986 zgodila v ukrajinskem Černobilu. Četudi mediji pogosto poročajo o dogajanju v povezavi z jedrsko nesrečo, niso vsi podatki kredibilni, oziroma so nam predstavljeni na način, ki nam vliva strah ter nezaupanje. Zaradi teh razlogov so bili v tej nalogi uporabljeni članki in videoposnetki, proučeni iz treh vidikov: ekstremni ter strah vlivajoči naslovi ter slike, tema radiacije ter radioaktivnosti in nenazadnje aktualna novica izpusta tako imenovane kontaminirane vode v ocean. Na podlagi teh vidikov so nato podane informacije, ki nasprotujejo določenim izjavam, navedenih v člankih, ki bi bralca lahko zmedle. Za zaključek pa je obravnavano vprašanje, kako se z mediji spoprijemati v prihodnje ter kaj lahko storimo, da nam informacije ne zameglijo lastne presoje.

• Title: Insufficient Information About Fukushima in Foreign and Domestic Media After the 2011 Nuclear Disaster

Abstract

This work studies the effect the media, in the form of articles from the biggest media houses around the world, and the more popular videos on the online portal called YouTube have. For easier understanding of this particular situation, there is also a questionnaire used, which was done based on the current situation in the Fukushima prefecture and the themes connected to it, which are radiation and radioactivity, evacuation, food safety and more. The media, such as articles and videos, are the main source of information to us as a reader or a viewer, however, they can be misrepresented in a way that could confuse or give us the wrong impression on a certain situation. The earthquake, tsunami and the nuclear disaster in the Japanese prefecture called Fukushima, is an event which is still being reported on quite regularly, because the situation is similar to that of the Ukraine-based Chernobyl disaster in 1986. But even if the media is still reporting on the events connected to the nuclear disaster, not all of the information could be credible, or is simply represented in a way that fills us with fear and mistrust. Due to these reasons, the articles and videos in this work have been studied from three different perspectives, those being extreme and fearmongering titles, the themes of radiation and radioactivity and last but not least, the news of so-called contaminated water being released into the ocean. Based on these perspectives, the information opposing certain statements given in these articles that could confuse a reader is then given. In the conclusion, the question asking how to handle the media in the future is given and what can we do to not let the information given in them cloud our judgment.
