Sažetak
In this paper, on the one hand, we investigate the degree of visibility of religious communities and their activities in the Croatian media and who speaks on their behalf in media reports published on the websites of Croatian daily newspapers during the first three months of 2017. Ono the other hand, we are interested in who reads the reports published on religious communities, i.e., how many and how readers of the portals analyzed comment on these contents. Using quantitative content analysis, we have analyzed the publications on the Internet portals of the three most widely read Croatian national daily newspapers: Jutarnji list, Večernji list and 24sata, with respect to topics, types, sources of information and authorship. Starting from the assumption that in secular publications the religious communities are often marginalized and somewhat characterized by political connotations, in this empirical study we are particularly interested in how much space is afforded in the media analyzed to the undertakings by religious communities on behalf of the marginalized groups in the society, especially the poor, economic migrants, asylum seekers and refugees We are also investigating whether and in what way readers’ comments on these reports represent offensive discourse in connection with other, unknown people and cultures, and place the results in the context of the social responsibility of the media. Furthermore, we also examine the religious websites in Croatia (Catholic Church, Serbian Orthodox Church, Islamic community and Jewish community) as well as the activities of the religious communities in regard to the media education of its members through religious schools and faculties, i.e., courses and discussions.
