Sažetak
The political transition that affected the countries of the former Yugoslavia in the early 1990s brought about a transition of its journalism in general as well as of its sports journalism in specific. This transition has not yet been completed, and the future education of sports journalists constitutes an important element in terms of steering this process in the right direction. Despite a long sporting tradition and, moreover, great sports achievements, there is no tradition of studying sports journalism in the countries of the former Yugoslavia. The number of study programmes in journalism and communication science has increased significantly, yet few of them offer sports studies through teaching journalistic skills. Our research conducted through a case study finds that there are only three undergraduate courses whose purpose is to train sports journalists. Some universities offer independent modules of Sports Journalism, usually among other elective modules within undergraduate study programmes. A survey conducted among undergraduate students of Journalism at the Faculty of Political Science in Zagreb shows that there is a strong interest in sports journalism. As sport is increasingly coming into focus within numerous scientific disciplines, this paper points to the value of studying this content within communication sciences, especially from the points of view of journalism and media.
