Sažetak
This paper analyses newspaper articles published in the form of interviews with public figures of the Yugoslav media space in 1989 and 1990 on the example of local newspapers which were published in the city of Zadar in the Republic of Croatia. The research corpus is based on newspaper articles published in the local newspapers Narodni list and Fokus, which were published in city of Zadar in the Republic of Croatia. The research period of this paper was from 9 February 1989 until 22 September 1990, because youth monthly newspaper Fokus was published in that period. The research period was extremely turbulent for all the republics that were then part of SFRY. Croatia was affected by numerous changes particularly in socio-political contexts. At that time, the multinational republic of Yugoslavia broke up, which resulted in the beginnings of the development of liberalization and democratization of the social and political life in Croatia. Former Zadar media publications Narodni list and Fokus allowed important participants of social-political life to step into the public at the local and national level. The particularity of these interviews was that some of these public figures were given for the first time the opportunity of media appearances in public because they were forbidden to do so until then. The research included newspaper articles classified in the category Interviews with public figures of Yugoslav area published on the pages of theweekly newspaper Narodni list and the youth monthly newspaper Fokus. Descriptive, exploratory and qualitative content analysis was used in this paper. 104 newspaper numbers and 1175 newspaper articles were analysed, of which 32 were published within the category Interviews with public figures of Yugoslav area. The research results have shown that the researched Zadar local newspapers Narodni list and Fokus allowed the media appearance in public for people from then social and political life, and even those who were forbidden from doing so and in that way informed readers about current events.
