The BA level research - The Representation Of Unemployed In Põhjarannik: Journalist’s
Point Of View To Unemployment - seeks to evaluate how journalists describe unemployed.
It is important to pay attention to the representation of unemployed, because many media
theorists are satisfied that representation influences the opinion that others have about the
group that is represented.
In research I investigate the articles of seven Põhjarannik journalists. Paper describes
representation of unemployed people from journalist’s point of view, because then it is well
seen how the echo of theme depends on journalist. Unemployment is a complicated
phenomenon and journalists write about it differently. Newspaper Põhjarannik appear in print
on Ida-Virumaa and was chosen because on this area is the biggest unemployment compared
to other areas in Estonia.
One of my purposes was to find out how much journalists describe unemployed people and
how they do that. Other purpose was to understand who journalists think would be the guilty
one and who should solve the problem of unemployment. The method of this research is
complex - qualitative analysis of media texts with the elements of grounded theory and
discourse analysis.
According to my research results journalists describe unemployed people quite a lot. Every
journalist has her/his own ways to describe unemployed. Most often were unemployed
described as passive people who don’t want or don’t know how to make their situation better.
Contrary to that were unemployed also quite often described as active people. According to
analysis there where four participants found guilty – the employers, the unemployed people,
the country and the vocational education. The solution of unemployment problem should
come from all participants.
