The Portrait of Mothers and Fathers in Croatian Daily Newspapers and in a Magazine for Parents: Today and Twenty Years Ago

The aim of the present study was to examine whether there has been a change in the representation of fathers and mothers in the Croatian press over the last twenty years. In particular, we wanted to examine how mothers and fathers have been presented in daily newspapers and a magazine for parents, and whether the current trend towards a greater involvement of fathers in raising children is noticeable in the Croatian press. In order to answer the research question we conducted a content analysis of two daily newspapers, and one magazine for parents. The obtained results show that the public image of the roles of mother and father has somewhat changed in the last twenty years. Although fathers have increasingly been shown as co-parents, it is obvious that we are still in a transition period with a number of ambivalences and contradictions regarding the role of the fathers.
