Media Representation of Discursive Relations between Actors in the Case of a Terrorist Attack on St. Mark’s Square
Antonio Krnić
Sažetak
The paper presents the results of research conducted on media articles from the five most read media portals in Croatia, selected based on Reuters
reports from 2021 and 2022. The analyzed articles report on the shooting at the Banski dvori building on October 12, 2020, in which the attacker injured a policeman guarding the Croatian Government building and took his own life shortly after. A theoretical framework is provided that clarifies key concepts such as public space and terrorism. The method of qualitative content analysis was carried out, chosen because of the reflexive and interpretive character of the analysis of relations between actors based on inductively identified discursive categories. After defining the discursive content within the category, the attitudes and relations between the actors were determined. It was concluded that in the media coverage terms are often relativized, conflicts are encouraged by name-calling and condemnations, and that no justification has been provided for the long-term restriction of access to St. Mark’s Square.
