摘要：Various news production studies from Germany and the USA show that the journalistic process of text production is, to a large extent, a routine practice. There are more or less routine and institutionalized ways of gathering, selection and framing of information. We used the method of content analysis to measure the presence of two variables (Type of event and Verifiability of sources) in a sample of the Slovene daily newspapers (Delo, Dnevnik, Večer). Our analysis confirms the hypothesis that during the period of transition (from 1990 until 2000), the journalistic work has been transformed into a routine. The use of public relations sources and other institutionalized sources has increased, especially in the Slovene main daily newspaper Delo. In the year 2000, the journalistic reporting was mainly based on pseudo-events and routine events, while active journalistic work was decreasing. Our research also reveals that the non-transparent quotation of sources is on the increase. Our conclusion is that the increased routinization of Slovene journalism can (also) be attributed to the transition changes, especially to the economic changes in society and to the commercialisation of the mass media, which have raised changes in the process of journalistic work.
