THE ROMANIES IN SERBIAN (DAILY) PRESS
Dragana Mašović
Faculty of Philosophy, Niš
Abstract. The paper deals with the presence of Romanies' concerns
in Serbian daily press. More precisely, it tries to confirm the assumption
that not enough space is devoted to the issue as evident in a small-scale
analysis done on seven daily papers during the sample period of a week.
The results show that not only mere absence of Romanies' issues is the
key problem. Even more important are the ways in which the editorial startegy
and the language used in the published articles turn out to be (when unbiased
and non-trivial) indirect, allusive and "imbued with promises and optimism"
so far as the presumed difficulties and problems of the Romanies are concerned.
Thus they seem to avoid facing the reality as it is.
Key words: Romanies, Serbian daily press
ROMI U SRPSKOJ (DNEVNOJ) ŠTAMPI
Rad se bavi prisustvom romskih pitanja u srpskoj dnevnoj štampi. Tačnije,
on nastoji da potvrdi pretpostavku da se ovim pitanjima ne posvećuje dovoljna
pažnja kao što pokazuje i analiza rađena u malom opsegu na uzorku od sedam
dnevnih listova, praćenih u periodu od nedelju dana. Rezultati pokazuju
da nije samo odsustvo romskih tema ključni problem. Još važnija izgleda
da je činjenica da urednička politika i retorika objavljenih tekstova,
onda kada nisu pristrasni i trivijalni, ipak jesu indirektni, aluzivni
i ispunjeni obećanjima i optimizmom kada se radi o pretpostavljenim teškoćama
i problemima Roma. Na taj način kao da se izbegava suočavanje sa stvarnošću.
