Daily Press Reports on Criminality: Adult’s Perception
Keywords:
media, media coverage, crime, daily press, print mediaAbstract
The aim of this paper is to provide answers to the question of what the perception of the adult population is of Serbian daily newspapers reporting on crime. Material for analysis was prepared by focus groups with students of Belgrade University. We used an open-coding process. The results showed that in the process of analyzing three key categories were isolated: tabloidisation and sensationalism in Serbian daily newspapers reporting on crime, the incompetence of journalists to report on crime and politically orchestrated – scandal-stained reporting on crime.
