Abstract

Rad istražuje stranicu Humans of New York iz aspekta promjena u novinarskoj komunikaciji.
Fotografsko-pripovjedačku Facebook stranicu Humans of New York prati publika iz gotovo svih
dijelova svijeta – popularnost same stranice vidljiva je iz količine „lajkova”, komentara i dijeljenja
publike te količini stranica nastalih po uzoru na nju. Prvi dio rada daje uvid u povijest ovog bloga.
Budući da ova tema još nije teorijski obrađena, za povijesni su uvid korišteni novinski članci, intervjui
s autorom te sadržaj snimaka objavljenih na internetskim portalima. U drugom su dijelu rada istražene
promjene u novinarskoj komunikacije koje su omogućile razvoj stranice. Publika koja prati objave
Brandona Stantona svakodnevno komentira, „lajka” te dijeli sadržaj, odnosno sudjeluje. Treći dio
rada analizira provedeno istraživanje, u kojem su istražene objave na stranici Humans of New York
objavljene u razdoblju od 29. travnja do 20. lipnja 2015. Analiza je podijeljena u tri dijela: u prvom
su proučavane reakcije publike kroz broj „lajkova”, komentara te dijeljenja, u drugom je proučavan
fotografski dio objava, a u trećem onaj tekstualni. Cilj je ovog rada sadržajno istražiti stranicu, dati
prikaz njezine povijesti te ukazati na promjene u novinarskoj komunikaciji koje su omogućile razvoj
stranice.
