Sažetak
The beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, had major consequences for cultural and artistic life. There were cancellations of performances of Russian musicians, fi ne arts and ballet artists, cancellations of works by Russian authors and Russian productions, as well as cancellation of cultural cooperation with the Russian Federation. These and numerous other reactions are referred to in media communication as »cancel culture«. In this regard, the aim of this work is to carry out a media analysis of this phenomenon in Croatian digital publications during the first thirty days of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, from February 25 to March 25, 2022. Through a media analysis of 98 articles in thirty Croatian digital publications which addressed the cancellations and other negative consequences in the performing arts, especially in music, due to the invasion, an effort was made to define the subject matter and the events that were written about, to pinpoint features of the analysed articles, and identify the journalistic approach and readers’ reactions in user posts. The research shows that different kinds of electronic media approach the given topics and the very phenomenon of cancel culture differently: Electronic publications of a general thematic orientation which have a greater reach more often use agency news as a source, and employ more creativity in the titles of news items in order to attract readers. In electronic publications of a specialized orientation, a phenomenological approach to the problem of cancel culture can be noticed together with a critical attitude in relation to current topics. The journalistic approach towards cancel culture that can be recognised is mostly neutral, while the reader’s is negative.
For purposes of media content analysis, an analytical matrix with fifteen categories was created and the mixed (qualitative-quantitative) analysis program MAXQDA Analytics Pro 2022 (Release 22.4.0) was used.
