Abstract

Sodobni demografski, družbeni in ekonomski trendi spodbujajo zanimanje družbene in kulturne gerontologije za raziskovanje medijskih reprezentacij starosti, ki so za družboslovce zanimive zaradi njihove narave pa tudi njihovih vplivov na družbene odnose in strukture ter vrednote. V Sloveniji do zdaj ni bilo raziskave, ki bi preučila, kako se skozi daljše obdobje medijske reprezentacije starosti spreminjajo in vplivajo na odnos družbe do starih. Da bi dobil vpogled v družbeno konstrukcijo starosti v enaindvajsetem stoletju in z njo povezanih trendov, sem opravil longitudinalno analizo časopisnega poročanja v volilnih letih od 2004 do 2018. Najprej sem na vzorcu 3.800 prispevkov, zbranih iz treh tiskanih dnevnih časopisov – Delo, Slovenske novice in Večer – s kvantitativno analizo vsebin raziskal spremembe medijskih reprezentacij starosti. Nato sem na namenskem vzorcu 80 prispevkov dnevnega časopisa Delo iz istega obdobja raziskavo poglobil s kvalitativno analizo poročanja o 309 problemih starih in 144 rešitvah zanje. Ugotovil sem, da so bili v volilnih letih od 2004 do 2018 v dnevnih časopisih najbolj poudarjeni politični in ekonomski vidiki staranja ter da se v analiziranem obdobju povečuje družbena občutljivost za s starostjo povezane tematike. Ugotovitve nadalje kažejo, da pri poročanju o problemih, s katerimi se spoprijemajo stari, prevladujejo trije s starizmom povezani principi reprezentacije: normalizacija, drugačenje in homogenizacija. Največ problemov, s katerimi se srečujejo stari ljudje, in rešitev zanje opredelijo predstavniki države in interesnih skupin. V nasprotju z drugimi raziskavami medijskih reprezentacij ta raziskava ni potrdila trenda individualizacije odgovornosti za probleme, s katerimi se spoprijemajo stari.

Secondary title:	The representations of old-age in Slovene daily newspapers
Secondary abstract:	Contemporary demographic, social, and economic trends stimulate the interest of social and cultural gerontology in exploring the nature and potential influences of media representations of old age. Media representations of old age are of special importance for social scientists because they are related to social relations and reflect the structure of society and its values. So far, there has been no research that would examine how media representations of old age change over time and effect society's attitude towards the older people in Slovenia. In order to gain understanding of the social construction of old age and related trends in the early twenty-first century we implemented longitudinal study, which encompassed the 2004‒2018 election years. First, we analysed coverage of topics related to old age on a sample size of 3,800 articles collected from the three printed daily newspapers Delo, Slovenske novice and Večer using quantitative content analysis. Further we selected a sample of 80 articles of the daily newspaper Delo and analysed the newspaper coverage of 309 problems that people face in old age and 144 related solutions using qualitative content analysis. Our results showed that in the election years from 2004 to 2018, the political and economic aspects of aging were most prominent in daily newspapers, and that social sensitivity to age-related topics increased in the analysed period. Our findings further revealed that three principles related to ageism prevail in representation of older people: normalization, differentiation, and homogenization. Moreover, findings of our study indicate, that most problems and solutions in the newspaper are reported by representatives of the state and interest groups. In contrast to other studies of media representations, our inquiry did not confirm the trend of individualizing responsibility for the problems of older people.
