Language editorial policy and Slovenian radio media

Abstract

prispevku ugotavljam, koliko so medijska zakonodaja in drugi relevantni pravni dokumenti odločevalcem lahko v pomoč pri oblikovanju jezikovne uredniške politike radijskega medija; kdo sploh so oblikovalci in usmerjevalci jezikovne uredniške politike (radijskega) medija; kdo in na kakšen način skrbi za jezikovno podobo (radijskega) medija – tako v smislu kakovosti kot družbene sprejemljivosti izražanja. Do ugotovitev sem prišla s pomočjo odgovorov na usmerjena vprašanja, vključena v anketo, izvedeno v okviru ciljnega raziskovalnega projekta Jezikovna politika Republike Slovenije in potrebe uporabnikov, ter s pomočjo strukturiranih intervjujev z uredniki izbranih radijskih programov. In the paper, we examine the extent to which legislation and other documents can help decision makers in shaping language editorial policy related to the medium of radio; who, in fact, are the creators and directors of language editorial policies of the (radio) media; who determines the linguistic imprint of the media – both in terms of quality and the social acceptability of expression – and how is this process undertaken. The findings were obtained through responses to targeted questions included in a survey conducted within the “Slovenian Language Policy and User Needs” target research project, and through structured interviews with editors of selected radio channels.
