IN CROATIAN: Napretkom globalizacije i jačanjem važnosti suvremenih medija medijatizacija postaje sve značajniji fenomen koji zahvaća različite segmente društva. U ovom radu bavimo se medijatizacijom znanosti koju Weingart (1997) definira kao neke od (medijskih) posljedica promjena u odnosu znanosti i društva (komercijalizacija, isprepletanje znanstvenih i gospodarskih ciljeva, isticanje društvene korisnosti i odgovornosti znanosti, javno legitimiranje znanosti itd.). No dosadašnja razmatranja procesa medijatizacije znanosti u osnovi su vrlo nesistematična. Studije (Rödder, 2009) razlikuju dvije međusobno povezane dimenzije: 1) povećanu medijsku pozornost za znanstvene teme koja se manifestira (većom) medijskom prisutnošću znanosti te 2) povećanu orijentaciju znanosti prema medijima koja sugerira moguće strukturalne promjene u sustavu znanosti i prilagođavanje medijskim kriterijima. Kako bismo istražili postoji li medijatizacija znanosti u Hrvatskoj, kao teorijsko-hipotetskim polazištem koristimo se dimenzijama i indikatorima medijatizacije znanosti koje navode Rödder i Schäffer (2009). Metodologija istraživanja temelji se na analizi sadržaja kojom su obuhvaćene najčitanije dnevne novine u Hrvatskoj u kasnosocijalističkom razdoblju 1986. – 1988. te u demokratskom razdoblju 2006. – 2008. Uzorkovanje je napravljeno metodom konstruiranog tjedna i ključnih riječi. Ukupno je analizirano 885 članaka, tj. 378 novinskih izdanja.Ukupno gledajući, rezultati ove studije opovrgavaju tezu o medijatizaciji znanosti u Hrvatskoj iako postoje neke naznake medijatizacije u parcijalnim empirijskim pokazateljima. --- IN ENGLISH: With the advent of globalization and with an increasing importance of contemporary media mediatization is becoming a wider and more significant phenomenon that affects various aspects of society. In this article the author deals with the mediatization of science, as Weingart (1997) named some of the (media) results of the previously described process of profound changes in the relationship of science and society (transdisciplinary processes, commercialization, interweaving of scientific and economic goals, public and scientific spheres, emphasize on the social utility and responsibilities of science, public legitimation of science, etc.). But the past reviews of the process of science mediatization are basically very unsystematic. Studies (rodder, 2009) distinguish betwe-en two interrelated dimensions of the mediatization of science: 1) the increased media attention to scientific topics that manifests itself through (more) media coverage of science and 2) increased orientation of science to the media that is visible as increased media orientation of scientists, and suggests possible structural changes in the very system of science and its adjustment to the media criteria. In order to examine whether there is a mediatization of science in Croatia as a theore-tical and hypothetical starting point in this work the author uses rodder and Schaffer's (2009) dimensions and indicators of the science mediatization. research methodology will be based on the analysis of the content which are covered by the most read daily newspaper in Croatia in the period of late socialism (1986-1988), and in the democratic period (2006-2008). The sampling was done by the methods of constructed week and keywords. a total of 885 articles, i.e. 378 editions of newspapers, were analyzed. Summary results refute the thesis of science mediatization in Croatia, although there are some signs of the mediatization visible in partial empirical indicators.

This paper tries to 1) identify the dominant media frames of science and 2) compare media selection and framing of science-related articles in Croatian daily newspapers during two politically and socioculturaly different periods: the late socialism and the (post)transition. The research methodology was based on content and frame analysis which encompassed articles on science in daily press with the highest readership between 1986–1988, and 2006–2008. The main findings indicate changes in the selection of science topics as well as in the representation of individual frames. Changes reflected not only current events in the world of science but also wider social and journalistic values, as well as evaluations of the importance of specific topics.

Aim. To assess the determinants and reasons for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine hesitancy in Croatia. Methods. The data were collected through a sociological survey by using a mixed-mode approach (computer-assisted web interviewing and computer-assisted telephone interview) on a national sample of 765 adults aged 18 or above. Bivariate (χ2 test) and multivariate (binary logistic regression) statistical methods were used. Results. The rate of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy was relatively high (35%), with unequal distribution across demographic groups. Binary logistic regression with demographic characteristics as predictors showed that women, younger age groups (especially 25-34-year-olds), persons residing in households with children, inhabitants of smaller settlements, and persons with lower levels of education had higher odds of vaccine hesitancy. Trust in the five main actors responding to the COVID-19 pandemic (the National Civil Protection Headquarters, Government, health care system, scientists-researchers, and media) was also a significant predictor of vaccine hesitancy. Risk perception was an even stronger predictor: persons who perceived SARS-CoV-2 infection as a small risk were more than ten times likelier to be vaccine hesitant than those who perceived it as a great risk. Conclusion. Social groups that are more prone to vaccine hesitancy need to be approached through different channels and messages by taking into account their trust in institutions and risk perception.
