  • Voicing older people’s problems through parliamentary election years 2004-2018 [Elektronski vir]
    Gerdina, Otto ; Čož, Sinja
    This article presents the results of a comprehensive study of news coverage on old age and related problems in the main national newspaper of Slovenia, Delo, during five parliamentary election years ... stretching over the period 2004-2018. The content and news source analyses showed the prevalence of politically salient issues on the institutional aspects of ageing over the diverse challenges faced by older people, as well as the prevalence of elite sources on most topics related to older people’s problems. We observe a change in the distribution of topics from unequal to more levelled over the years. Structure of topics that relate to old age and older people neglects areas that are increasingly important for forming strategies and solutions for a more equal participation of older people in the society. Newspaper’s reliance on elite sources is worrisome, as elites are inclined to maintaining the status quo and are devoid of the transformative potential that could improve the situation of older people in society.
