| Summary: | This article examines the media coverage of violence against women in the
family and in an intimate partner relationship in Serbia. The goal of this
article is to point to the potential that implementing the relevant state
policies might have on the quality of the media coverage, by analysing the
effects of state policies on the media coverage of violence against women in
the family and in an intimate partner relationship. This study utilizes
quantitative content analysis and qualitative framing analysis on a sample of
330 articles of Serbian daily newspapers Blic, Kurir and Politika in two time
periods (three months in 2006 and three months in 2013). The results of the
quantitative content analysis show a significant increase in the number of
articles containing information on statistics, services for victims and
expert sources. Qualitative framing analysis points to the conclusion that
the nature of the media frame has not meaningfully changed. Namely, under the
pressure of editors, journalists continue with framing violence against women
in a stereotyped fashion which reflects the suppressed position of women in
the Serbian society. |
