TI - Surveillance and Privacy. Discourses on the Pegasus System in Selected Media
AB - Nowadays, the privacy debate is more focused on mass surveillance supported by the Pegasus system. Therefore, it is worth looking at how the surveillance and Pegasus-oriented discourse framed by various actors shape the public debate. The research objectives are RG1: separation of actors creating a media discourse on the Pegasus case; RG2: analysis of the contexts in which this discourse was created; and RG3: searching for the framework that emerged from the analyzed materials. We examine the discursive framework in which actors view surveillance as a political category and what dimensions of supervision they address. The data corpus is made up of Polish, selected opinion-forming media. The research is conducted based on qualitative methods: qualitative content analysis for the collected data and discourse analysis for the analysis of the surveillance framework and the context of the use of Pegasus, as well as quantitative content analysis for categorization and discourse comparison in the surveyed media. Analyses showed that the discourse on Pegasus surveillance was dominated by the political and institutional context and the discussion on issues such as “government and democracy”, while the framework for the discourse of certain politicians and journalist differed significantly.
