While studies on media representations of agricultural biotechnology mostly analyse media texts, this work is intended to fill a research gap with an analysis of journalistic interpretations of media representations. The purpose of this project was to determine how news media represent agricultural biotechnology and how journalists interpret their own representations. A content and critical discourse analysis of news texts published in the Slovenian media over two years and in-depth interviews with their authors were conducted. News texts results suggest that most of the news posts were "othering" biotechnology and biotechnologists: biotechnology as a science and individual scientists are represented as "they," who are socially irresponsible, ignorant, arrogant, and "our" enemies who produce unnatural processes and work for biotechnology companies, whose greed is destroying people, animals, and the environment. Most journalists consider these representations to be objective because they have published the biotechnologists' opinions, despite their own negative attitudes towards biotechnology.
Povzetek. Namen članka je opredeliti trende in razsežnosti prekarizacije standardnega in nestandardnega
zaposlovanja v Sloveniji med gospodarsko depresijo
in njegovo ponovno ekspanzijo. V literaturi so pojmi
(ne)standardno, prekarno in neformalno delo nejasno
definirani in slabo razločeni, zato jih najprej teoretsko začrtamo. Nato analiziramo spreminjanje sestave
delovne sile v obdobju 2005–2019, kakor jo pokaže
statistična analiza longitudinalnih mikropodatkov
iz ankete Aktivno in neaktivno prebivalstvo (SURS).
Ugotavljamo, da je segment prekarnega dela navzoč
tako znotraj standardnega kakor nestandardnega
zaposlovanja, da se prekarnost znotraj nestandardnega dela bržkone povečuje in da se s širjenjem nestandardnega dela povečuje tveganje prekarnega in neformalnega dela.
