“…The conflict frame emphasises disagreement between individuals, groups, or institutions and has, in some studies of Coronavirus coverage, been among the most used (Ogbodo et al, 2020;Cho & Wang, 2021), but has also not been present at all (Ebrahim, 2022). The human interest frame personalises, dramatises, and emotionalises the news (Semetko & Valkenburg, 2000) and prevailed in the research of Ogbodo et al (2020), Kleut andŠinković (2020), andTejedor, Cervi, Tusa, Portales, andZabotina (2020). Most studies include the generic frames of attribution of responsibility and morality; however, with a few exceptions (Kleut & Šinković, 2020;Cho & Wang, 2021), they do not play a profound role.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused both a widespread public health crisis and a global economic crisis, disrupting every aspect of our lives, health, education, jobs, and social life. To provide the public with trustworthy and continuously updated information and stories during uncertain times, newsrooms have made pandemic coverage a priority. Conducting a content analysis of Norwegian news and debate programs on radio and television throughout 2020, we found that the frames most dominant in news broadcasts were the least used frames in debate programs, and vice versa. Overall, the five most common frames were societal consequences, economic consequences, medical risk, government measures, social behaviour, and risk. This suggests that the COVID-19 pandemic was contextualized as an economic and social crisis as well as a health crisis. However, the lack of politicization, conflict and responsibility frames, suggests media coverage missed a critical perspective.

“…Jedno domaće istraživanje takođe je pokazalo izraženu političku polarizaciju na tzv. partijske (u smislu preterane bliskosti vladajućoj grupaciji) i ostale medije kada je bilo u pitanju uokviravanje različitih aspekata epidemije (Kleut i Šinković, 2020). Na ovom mestu nema prostora za šire elaboracije o medijskoj klimi u Srbiji, ali se može reći da su određeni aspekti epidemijskih konferencija u velikoj meri bili odraz stanja u medijskoj sferi koju je karakterisala upravo veoma oštra polarizacija medijskog izveštavanja, izražena pristrasnost, različite vrste isključivosti i sl.…”

The subject of the paper is the identification and analysis of meaningful constructions, which had some characteristics of the rhetorical figures, on the so-called epidemic press conferences in Serbia. The theoretical part starts from the sociological approach to the mass media, which is based on the interaction between the media and the context in which they are situated, which follows the consideration of the relationship between structure and meaning. Epidemic conferences were recognized as a media phenomenon that could serve to shed some light on this relationship, because on the one hand they represented a certain emanation of the political subsystem, while on the other hand their content had a strong symbolic character that included figures. The methodological part is dedicated to the definition of figures and the time framing of the analysis. The results of the analysis showed the presence of several figures that differed in their character and users, and whose common characteristic was that they significantly varied from the health and informational function of conferences. In a broader sense, the aim is to show the way in which certain cultural phenomena, such as the mass media, can generate different sets of meanings, which are the product of certain structural characteristics of society itself.

“…Štaviše, predstavnici države su tokom cele godine ignorisali sopstvenu, a naglašavali odgovornost građana za širenje virusa, što su dodatno isticali prorežimski mediji (Kleut, Šinković, 2020). Okrivljavanje građana je nekada imalo opšti karakter, a nekada su okrivljavane i stigmatizovane određene grupe, poput državljana Srbije koji su se u prvim mesecima pandemije vratili u Srbiju a pre toga su boravili u inostranstvu iz različitih razloga (Pešić, 2020), građana koji su tokom letnjih meseci putovali na odmor van zemlje i građana koji su protestovali protiv načina na koji se država suprotstavljala pandemiji.…”

This paper aims to analyse the scope, forms, characteristics and new patterns of victimisation in Serbia during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as factors that influenced it. In this paper, the notions of victim and victimisation are used in their largest sense, so that the paper deals with a large scope of victimising events and victims - from (direct and indirect) victimisation by virus COVID-19 and the inadequate reaction of the state, to the criminal victimisation and violation/restrictions of human rights. The particularly difficult situation of, in a socio-economic sense, especially vulnerable groups, such as migrants and asylum seekers, street children, Roma, homeless, older people, single parents, persons located in closed institutions (prisons and social welfare institutions), and victims of violence (in family and during civil protests against state?s response to the pandemic) is stressed. After the introduction, the overview of the development of pandemic in Serbia during 2020 and the measures taken for its suppression is given. After that, the scope, forms and trends of victimisation are analysed based on police statistics and other available data. Finally, characteristics and new patterns of victimisation that appeared in the conditions of the pandemic are analysed. In the conclusion, the main factors of victimisation during the pandemic are outlined. Special emphasis is put on the lack of adequate databases relevant for appropriate response both to COVID-19 and crime, as well as on shortcomings of state response to the pandemic. The paper ends with recommendations for state actions relevant for victims in conditions of pandemic and similar crisis situations.
