Sažetak
In order to establish supervision over the implementation of the law on the suppression of violence against women, the Council of Europe designed the Istanbul Convention, the ratification of which was voted by Croatia on April 13, 2018. The document caused public disagreement and political strife in Croatia, and the way the media reported on this problem was of significant importance in the process of creating public perception and public opinion. The main goal of this paper is to point out the biased media reporting on the process of ratification of the Istanbul Convention in Croatia. Qualitative and quantitative content analysis and discourse analysis were used, and the research was conducted on a sample of 882 articles published on six internet portals in the period from March 13 to April 13, 2018. The analysis confirmed the assumption that the most read Croatian portals focused on conflicts. and social division, and the most media attention was given to politicians and their conflicts. Although most portals maintained their neutrality when writing short news and reports, editorial preference could clearly be deduced from the selection of commentators and columnists. Almost no article emphasized the experiences of abused women and the importance of ratifying such a document for their safety and future.
