What would we know about seniors if we knew them only from Czech media? An analysis of representations of senior in the nationwide media.
Original language description
The historically unprecedented ageing of the Czech population evokes a huge challenge for our society and all major social actors gradually centre their attention on it. Media ? as the main transmitters of information in modern societies and actors in the social construction of reality ? play a major role in the signification of the old age. Due to this the research concentrates on the interpretative sociological analysis of media representations of seniors and old age in Czech media. The analysis concerns above all the news coverage of national television channels and important dailies. The research aims at exploring grand narratives about old age in Czech media, topics which are covered and the context within which seniors are placed in Czech media.The research addresses the question of whether the current media representations of old age and seniors are really stereotypical and distorted as research on foreign media suggests. Data were analyzed by quantitative content analysis.
