ABSTRACT

A content analysis of Croatian daily newspapers was conducted to clarify how these media outlets present CSA victims, any correlation between the use of victim-blaming, stereotyping, and endangering practices for victims, and to determine the predictors of endangering practices while reporting on CSA victims. The analytical matrix for assessing CSA media content was developed after conducting multiple reliability tests with independent coders. After relevancy coding of CSA news stories, content analysis was conducted on a random cluster sample of 1.159 CSA pieces of news published between 2007 and 2016. A binary logistic regression was conducted in order to detect predictors of reporting practices that endanger victims. Victims presented in the news are mostly female, multiple victims, and victims’ background information are in line with gender stereotypes. About one-quarter of the news stories used consensual words to describe proven CSA, 20% shifted the responsibility for the abuse onto the victims, and 15% described the victim as permanently damaged. Regarding endangering media coverage practices, 27% of the news disclose the victim’s identity (mostly indirectly) while 21% of the news provide details of an abusive event. Predictors of disclosing victim’s identity and providing details of an abusive event are emphasized. News reports still contribute to the stigmatization and victimization of the survivors.

摘要

对克罗地亚日报进行了内容分析，以阐明这些媒体如何呈现 CSA 受害者，使用指责受害者、刻板印象和危害受害者的做法之间的任何关联，并确定在报道 CSA 受害者时危害做法的预测因素. 评估 CSA 媒体内容的分析矩阵是在与独立编码员进行多次可靠性测试后开发的。在对 CSA 新闻报道进行相关编码后，对 2007 年至 2016 年间发布的 1.159 条 CSA 新闻的随机集群样本进行了内容分析。进行了二元逻辑回归以检测危及受害者的报道行为的预测因素。新闻中出现的受害者大多是女性，多名受害者，受害者的背景信息符合性别陈规定型观念。大约四分之一的新闻报道使用双方同意的词语来描述经过验证的 CSA，20% 的新闻报道将虐待的责任转移到了受害者身上，15% 的新闻报道将受害者描述为永久受损。关于危及媒体报道的做法，27% 的新闻披露了受害者的身份（大部分是间接的），而 21% 的新闻提供了虐待事件的详细信息。强调了披露受害者身份和提供虐待事件细节的预测因素。新闻报道仍然助长了幸存者的污名化和受害。关于危及媒体报道的做法，27% 的新闻披露了受害者的身份（大部分是间接的），而 21% 的新闻提供了虐待事件的详细信息。强调了披露受害者身份和提供虐待事件细节的预测因素。新闻报道仍然助长了幸存者的污名化和受害。关于危及媒体报道的做法，27% 的新闻披露了受害者的身份（大部分是间接的），而 21% 的新闻提供了虐待事件的详细信息。强调了披露受害者身份和提供虐待事件细节的预测因素。新闻报道仍然助长了幸存者的污名化和受害。
