Abstract

Glavni cilj rada je istražiti percepciju javnosti na lažne vijesti iz političkog spektra. Kako bi se tema lakše približila ispitanicima, u empirijskom istraživanju tema je istražena na aktualnom primjeru sukoba između Ukrajine i Rusije. Također, istražene su i druge varijable ovog fenomena, poput utjecaja fotografija na povjerenje javnosti, generalni interes javnosti u praćenje medijskih objava političke tematike te osjećaj sigurnosti javnosti u odnosu na spomenutu tematiku.
Rezultati anketnog istraživanja su pokazali da javnost iskazuje visok interes za politička zbivanja putem medija, ali i visok stupanj nepovjerenja u medije. Iskazan je stav o medijskim napisima kao senzacionalističkima i predstavljenima s ciljem veće čitanosti. Nasuprot tome, medijski napisi s fotografijama, koje su predstavljene kao dokazi tih tvrdnji, zadobili su puno veće povjerenje javnosti.

Abstract (english)

The main goal of the paper is to investigate the public's perception of fake news from the political spectrum. In order to bring the topic closer to the respondents, in the empirical research the topic was investigated on the current example of the conflict between Ukraine and Russia. Also, other variables of this phenomenon were investigated, such as the impact of photos on public trust, the public's general interest in following media announcements on political topics, and the public's sense of security in relation to the mentioned topic.
The survey results showed that the public shows a high interest in political events through the media, but also a high degree of distrust in the media. An attitude was expressed about media articles as sensational and presented with the aim of greater readership. In contrast, media articles with photographs, which were presented as evidence of these claims, gained much greater public trust.
