Sažetak
The topic of the paper are some features of private, indipendent print media that were born together with democratic changes at the beginning of the nineties and have survived the last decade, regardless of wars, ethnical conflicts and clashes, cruelty of bussines practices and corruption. The use of long headlines (for example, even more than 29 words), "fast investigative journalism" with numerous unchecked facts, stories that have nothing in common with headlines, is a product of new democrasy that followed the fall of communism. The impoverished audience does not believe all stories the they find in such papers, but they are still ready to buy them each day/week. How long this tipe of journalism last? Why does it seem almost impossible to make a newsmagazine in accordance with practices of credible and professional standards of profession? Who is responsible for this negative trend? Journalists themselves or the nature of transition processes in countries with shortage of civil states functions?
