Kako su žene predstavljene u dnevnom tisku na hrvatskome jeziku - Večernji list i Dnevni list
How women are represented in daily newspapers in Bosnia and Herzegovina in croatian language – Večernji list and Dnevni list

Summary/Abstract: Through the analysis of newspaper articles from two daily newspapers in Bosnia and Herzegovina released in Croatian language (Dnevni list and Vecernji list), we tried to show how women and women’s topics are represented in them. Critical discourse analysis tried to highlight the linguistic characteristics of such portrayal, especially vocabulary, but also some syntactic and semantic devices, showing possible ideological connotations of these texts. Such analysis can prove the ideology of power behind the newspaper articles, as the representation and the ways of presentation depend on the media policy creators. We have particularly pinpointed the parts and thematic units which offer stereotypical pictures of women. Finally, we concluded that there was no significant change in women’s portrayal in the press comparing to earlier research papers in Bosnia and Herzegovina of similar kind.
