Abstract

Istraživački dio rada oslanja se na kvantitativnu i kvalitativnu metodologiju. Dok je glavni cilj
ankete ispitati percepciju utjecaja radnih uvjeta u novinarskim redakcijama na mentalno zdravlje
novinara, dva temeljna cilja dubinskih intervjua su ispitati utjecaj uvjeta rada u Hrvatskoj na
mentalno zdravlje i istražiti pravne okvire mobbinga u Hrvatskoj. Anketa je provedena na 57
novinara sedam najčitanijih portala u Hrvatskoj u 2020. godini prema Reuters institutu, a uzorak
koji se koristio u prikupljanju podataka je uzorak „snježne grude“ zbog relativno male i
specijalizirane skupine koja se istražuje. Također, anketa je provedena online kako bi se osigurala
maksimalna anonimnost ispitanika, ali i zbog pretpostavke da su novinari koji rade na portalima
informatički pismeni te neće imati poteškoća u pristupu anketi. Nadalje, rezultati ankete su ukazali
da se u novinarskim redakcijama u određenoj mjeri postoji negativan utjecaj radnih uvjeta u
novinarskim redakcijama na mentalno zdravlje novinara. U polustrukturiranim dubinskim
intervjuima sudjelovale su psihologinja i pravnica koje su podijelile svoja stručna znanja iz
područja u kojima djeluju. Dok je intervju s psihologinjom Blažić proveden posredstvom
videopoziva, kasnije i transkribiran, pravnica Blanuša na pitanja je odgovorila pisanim putem. Prvi
intervju je ukazao da u Hrvatskoj još uvijek ljudi premalo znaju o mentalnom zdravlju, ali da se
vidi pomak u traženju psihološke pomoći, posebice zbog mobbinga. Intervju proveden s pravnicom
pokazao je da u Hrvatskoj postoji nesrazmjer podignutih tužbi i stvarnih slučajeva mobbinga zbog
teškoća dokazivanja mobbinga, straha od gubitka posla te osuđivanja budućih poslodavaca.

Abstract (english)

The research part of the paper relies on quantitative and qualitative methodology. While the main
goal of the survey is to examine the perception of the impact of working conditions in newsrooms
on the mental health of journalists, the two main goals of in-depth interviews are to examine the
impact of working conditions in Croatia on mental health and explore the legal framework of
mobbing in Croatia. The survey was conducted on 57 journalists of the seven most read portals in
Croatia in 2020 according to the Reuters Institute, and the sample used in data collection is the
snowball sample due to the relatively small and specialized group being researched. However, the
survey was conducted online to ensure maximum anonymity of respondents, but also because of
the assumption that journalists working on news portals are computer literate and will not have
difficulty accessing the survey. Furthermore, the results of the survey indicated that in there is a
certain negative impact of working conditions in newsrooms on the mental health of journalists.
The semi-structured in-depth interviews involved a psychologist and a lawyer who shared their
expertise in the areas in which they work. While the interview with psychologist Blažić was
conducted via video call, and later transcribed, lawyer Blanuša answered the questions in writing.
The first interview indicated that people in Croatia still know too little about mental health, but that
there is a shift in seeking psychological help, especially due to mobbing. An interview with a
lawyer showed that in Croatia there is a disproportion between lawsuits and actual cases of
mobbing due to the difficulty of proving mobbing, fear of losing a job and condemning future
employers.
