Sažetak
Various news production studies from Germany and the USA show that the
journalistic process of text production is, to a large extent, a routine practice.
There are more or less routine and institutionalized ways of gathering,
selection and framing of information. We used the method of content analysis
to measure the presence of two variables (Type of event and Verifiability of
sources) in a sample of the Slovene daily newspapers (Delo, Dnevnik, Večer).
Our analysis confirms the hypothesis that during the period of transition (from
1990 until 2000), the journalistic work has been transformed into a routine.
The use of public relations sources and other institutionalized sources has
increased, especially in the Slovene main daily newspaper Delo. In the year
2000, the journalistic reporting was mainly based on pseudo-events and
routine events, while active journalistic work was decreasing. Our research
also reveals that the non-transparent quotation of sources is on the increase.
Our conclusion is that the increased routinization of Slovene journalism can
(also) be attributed to the transition changes, especially to the economic
changes in society and to the commercialisation of the mass media, which
have raised changes in the process of journalistic work.
