The United Nations Protection Forces (UNPROFOR) were posted along the division lines between Serb controlled parts and the rest of Croatia to control the maintenance of the truce. In most parts of Croatia the peace (civil) situation was maintained, with lot of war refuges dispersed throughout the country. But there were still skirmishes along the line, and occasional shelling of Croatian towns and the town regions (Zadar, Gradi\'9a ka) near the Serb controlled regions. And the economy was still burdened by the war situation and partial isolation from the world economic exchanges. However, the full fledged war was going in the neighboring B&H (Bosnia and Herzegovina). The main conflict was b e tween the Bosnia Serbs on the one side and Bosnia Muslims and Croats on the other, Serb forces occupying most of the Bosnia territory. Serbs in B&H have established their own - separatist - political formation: Republic of Serbs, with their own army, heav i ly supported by the Serb and Montenegro federative state - Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Croats in Bosnia and Herzegovina have also established the regional political formation: Republic of Herzeg-Bosnia, and had its own military forces - HVO, Hrvatsko vi}{\f187\fs24 je\'e6 e obrane - Croatian Defence Council). Only the Moslems and the rest of Croats and Serbs in Moslem dominated parts of B&H (e.g. Sarajevo) have maintained the basic and integrally conceived (recognized by UN) Republic of BIH, and their own military force - Army of BIH. But, there was a secessionists Moslem movement in the west B&H led by Fikret Abdi\'e6 (in Kladu\'9a a), which were at that time in occasional conflict with B&H governmental forces and supported by Croatian government (and Serbs in Krajina and Bosni}{\fs24 a). \par But at the period of the sample the most emphasized conflicts were led between the Croats and Muslims over the control of nationally (Moslem-Croat) mixed regions. Governmental politics in Croatia gave a heavy support to the Croatian side in BIH, and ex erted a fundamental influence on their behavior. \par The situation in the period of the comparative sample (18.11.91: "Vukovar program") was as follows: \par There was a widespread war in its peak within Croatia: all regions bordering with Serbia, Bosnia and Herz egovina, and Montenegro were invaded by JNA (Yugoslav People's Army - ex-Yugoslav Army forces) and Serb and Montenegro paramilitary or drafted troupes. Within Croatia, rebel - mainly Serb populated - regions have (in Slavonia, Lika, Kordun, Bania and Nor t h Dalmatia) conjoined their own forces with JNA and were taking over the governmental positions in their regions and advancing in order to occupy as much Croatian territory as they can. There where JNA air raids over most towns in Croatia, and the towns o n reach of JNA artillery were being shelled (Dubrovnik, Zadar, \'8a ibenik, Karlovac, Osijek, Pakrac, Sisak etc.). The day before (17, November 1991) the Croatian town Vukovar, near the Serbs border, had fallen after several month of siege and attacks by JNA an d Serbs forces. The JNA garrison within Croatian controlled territory were besieged by police and by citizen militia and volunteers, and negotiations between JNA representatives and Croatian representatives were in process: it was about the surrender of g arrisons or the withdrawal of their occupants from Croatia. \par }\pard \ql \fi720\li0\ri0\widctlpar\faauto\adjustright\rin0\lin0\itap0 {\fs24 \par }\pard \ql \li0\ri0\sl-240\slmult0\widctlpar\faauto\adjustright\rin0\lin0\itap0 {\b\i\fs24 The content analysis matrix \par }\pard \ql \fi720\li0\ri0\sl-240\slmult0\widctlpar\faauto\adjustright\rin0\lin0\itap0 {\fs24 Since the features to be measured by content analysis (i. e. the "field of sensitivity" of the research matrix) has to be specified, some more specific theoretical goal had to be put forward in order to give the "relevancy criterion". \par The chosen hypothesis was based on the common observation that in the situation of war the dichotomy between "us" and "them" ("others") tend to become more emphasized and that some or mo st of the "others" are "constructed as an enemy".

But, who is considered to be an enemy is often identified through the choice of emotionally charged category phrases (description). \par A part of the matrix of content analysis have had slots to be filled with the explicit "phrases" by which the given referent is marked as "enemy" (or "non-enemy"). Analysis operator had to evaluate a connotative impact of each naming (descriptive) phrase along the scale - very negative, mildly negative, neutral, positive. \par Judgement of connotative (evaluational) impact of the phra se is highly contextually dependent. It depends on the particular context of a delivery, on the prolonged experience with a monthly (and yearly) sequence of news programs. The same names and derived adjectives - e.g. }{\i\fs24 Moslem}{\fs24 ; }{\i\fs24 Serb}{\fs24 ; }{\i\fs24 Croat}{\fs24 - have contextually different connotative impact and range of extension: in one context }{\i\fs24 Moslem}{\fs24 , }{\i\fs24 Serb}{\fs24 and }{\i\fs24 Croat}{\fs24 may be just neutral naming of ethnic affiliation, but in another context (especially when is indicated and characterized what they are doing in war) ethnic names ma y assume a negative or positive connotative values (be negative or positive evaluators of named referent). Also, an highly important "context" is general and particular (immediate) sensitivity of the estimator. It happened that two content analysis operat ors have occasionally judged the same and contextually equivalent phrases along different values on the scale. Therefore the author of this report checked the evaluations of analysis operators and made corrections where such discrepancies were manifest. \par There were 238 identified items of naming the agencies in war.

It was connected with the actual rate of war conflicts in Bosnia and Herzegovina and in Croatia. \par There should be much higher percentage of }{\i\fs24 Croat}{\fs24 mention, because mentioning of Croats out of the immediate sentence connection with the "enemy" were not registered. Croats from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croats from Croatia were lumped togeth er because there are to much occasions where there is no easy distinction between them. Anyway, since the "Croats" do not enter the category of the "enemy" - being "our side" of reporting - they have been taken into account only for loose comparative purp oses. \par Some mildly negative namings of UNPROFOR (}{\i\fs24 plavci}{\fs24 , }{\i\fs24 plave kacige}{\fs24 - Blue ones, Blue helmets) are mostly derogative in tone, not inimical. \par The "enemy" identification is, expectedly, highly correlated with the lack of positive connotative evaluations - th ere is no positive evaluation of the marked enemy. In contrast, there is high percentage of positive evaluations of Croat namings. Some negative expressions concerning the Croats were introduced only to be denied and the originator accused as inimical one . One case of positive evaluation of Serb side is not exception at all: "}{\i\f187\fs24 sposobni pregovara\'e8i sa srpske strane}{\fs24 " (able negotiators on Serb side) was stated as a wishful thinking under the assumption that such agencies were actually lacking. \par The examples of most frequent "very negative" description phrases are: }{\i\fs24 terrorists}{\fs24 (teroristi), }{\i\fs24 aggressors}{\fs24 (agresori), }{\i\fs24 occupators}{\fs24 (okupatori), }{\i\fs24 Chetniks}{\f187\fs24 (\'e8 etnici - for some Serbs), }{\i\fs24 Mojahedins}{\fs24 (mud\'9eahedini - for some Moslems), }{\i\fs24 enemy}{\fs24 (neprijatelj), }{\i\fs24 snipers}{\fs24 (snajperisti). This expressions are used very often without additional modificators - on th e assumption that "everybody" of native audience "knows" who was meant. But, if there are modificators, they were mostly ethnic ones, e.g.: }{\i\fs24 Moslem terrorists groups}{\fs24 , }{\i\fs24 Moslem aggressor}{\fs24 , }{\i\fs24 Moslem snipers}{\fs24 , } {\i\fs24 Serb aggressor}{\fs24 , }{\i\fs24 Serb terrorists}{\fs24 . Ethnic modificators and the negatively "loaded" variants of them (}{\i\fs24 Mujahedin}{\fs24 , }{\i\fs24 Chetniks}{\fs24 ) are more frequent where the basic expression does not have necessary negative connotation by itself: }{\i\fs24 Moslem-Mojahedin brigades}{\fs24 . \par It is especially so with more "mildly negative" phrases (who have more variations then "very negative" phrases): }{\i\fs24 Serb rebels}{\fs24 (srpski pobunjenici, pobunjeni Srbi), }{\i\fs24 militant Serbs}{\fs24 (militantni Srbi), }{\i\fs24 Serb paramilitary troops}{\fs24 (srpske paravojne postrojbe; srpske paravojne formacije), }{\i\fs24 Bosnia Serbs}{\fs24 (bosanski srbi), }{\i\fs24 Serb-Montenegro troops}{\fs24 (srpsko-crnogorske postrojbe), }{\i\fs24 Serb army}{\fs24 (srpska vojska, srpske postrojbe, srpski vojnici), }{\i\fs24 Serb forces}{\fs24 (Srpske snage); Moslem (Muslimani, muslimanski), }{\i\fs24 Moslem army}{\fs24 (muslimanske postrojbe, muslimanske brigade, muslimanska armija...), }{\i\fs24 Moslem forces}{ \fs24 (muslimanske snage); }{\i\fs24 Izetbegovich's forces}{\f187\fs24 (Izetbegovi\'e6eve snage, Izetbegovi\'e6eva vojska), }{\i\fs24 Islamic state}{\fs24 (Islamska dr\'9eava) etc. \par The notable fact in this "mildly negative" expressions is that they may be quite neutral in other contexts, but being used as a metonymy for state, military forces and state representatives which have existing neutral name that does not always contain ethnic name in it, and being used in conjunctions with the negative act descriptions - all that entail negative connotations. For example, systematic use of }{\i\fs24 Moslem}{\fs24 for the specifications of the state, troops, politicians, military acts etc. when the state is called }{\i\fs24 Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina}{\fs24 , army's official name is }{\i\fs24 Army of Bosnia and Herzegovina}{\fs24 and they are as such internationally recognized, connotatively modifies the expression }{\i\fs24 Moslem}{\fs24 , suggesting - for Croat audience - a negative attitude toward referred subject and reported event. \par Now, in the main (1993) sample some efforts are noticeable to use more "neutral" express ions, or to make expressions "sound neutral". So, some of the otherwise "negatively loaded" and negatively used names and descriptive phrases may assume neutral tone: S}{\f187\fs24 erbs (Srbi), Serb side (srpska strana), Srbs in UN protected area (Srbi u UNPA podru\'e8 jima), local Serb authorities (lokalne srpske vlasti), Moslem side (muslimanska strana) - when speaking about the possibly successful negotiations; or: Moslems (when speak}{\fs24 ing about the civil victims), Moslem populace (when referring to civil populace), local populace (for civil Serb populace in Serb controlled regions) etc. \par }\pard \ql \li0\ri0\widctlpar\faauto\adjustright\rin0\lin0\itap0 {\fs24 \par }\pard \ql \li0\ri0\sl-240\slmult0\widctlpar\faauto\adjustright\rin0\lin0\itap0 {\b\i\fs24 *}{\i\fs24 In Vukovar program there had been some important differences.

Summary and conclusion \par }\pard \ql \fi720\li0\ri0\sl-240\slmult0\widctlpar\faauto\adjustright\rin0\lin0\itap0 {\fs24 Initial impetus to the research was a widely shared "feeling" that in the context of war or war threatening situation there are some significant changes in the role and the structure of the TV-news-program discourse. \par On the basis of this "feeling" th e more developed hypothesis - which follows the common understanding - was: a) In the situation of war the importance of information dissemination becomes higher, but at the same time b) the news, "by necessity", becomes more partial (to "our cause", and "against enemy"), with heavier emphasis on the attitude construction discoursive "moves" which are oriented toward potential c) audience "mobilization". In short, the theses was that news programs in war environment become more propagandistic in nature. \par Th e content analysis was oriented to those discourse features which could substantiate or make insubstantial the hypothesis about the strengthening of the propagandistic discourse orientation, with the open avenues to all features that may appear consequent ial. \par Consequently, some more analytical dissemination of possible attitude-forming factors have to be elicited. Generaly, the three sets of "attitude gauging" aspects of discourse have been discerned to be looked for. One set was related to way the parties (agencies) involved in war had been identified (the "names" used to identify the agances in war conflicts, and the identification of the referents of the "enemy" implications). Second, the explicit or implicite attribution of quilt for what were happenin g was looked for. Third, the evaluative (attitude forming) dimensions of naming, delivery manner. \par Since the prevalence of the attitude aspect of news-program discourse is not established only through direct attitudinal indicators but through its relatinshi p to other aspects of discourse, this was looked for too (e.g. the distribution of themes, interpretation-fact relationship in reporting of events was observed, the composition of discours delievery, complexity and coherency of discourse, personality aspe ct of delievery, picture-text relationship etc.). \par }\pard \ql \fi720\li0\ri0\widctlpar\faauto\adjustright\rin0\lin0\itap0 {\fs24 \par }\pard \ql \fi720\li0\ri0\sl-240\slmult0\widctlpar\faauto\adjustright\rin0\lin0\itap0 {\fs24 However, to perceive the changes in discourse some comparisons have to be established between two discourse states: peace news and war news within the same program course of a given network. \par The research solution to this problem was twofold. First, the main sample (of 1993) contained news on peace events as well as news on war events, so that the internal comparisons between the two was possible. \par But, just because the main sample was not the sample of "re al" war news, we took for the comparative purposis one past instance of "real war news" - the news program that had been delivered in the midst of the war waging over Croatia (a day after the Vukovar's downfall to the Serbs troops and Yugoslav People's Ar my). \par }\pard \ql \fi720\li0\ri0\widctlpar\faauto\adjustright\rin0\lin0\itap0 {\fs24 \par }\pard \ql \fi720\li0\ri0\sl-240\slmult0\widctlpar\faauto\adjustright\rin0\lin0\itap0 {\fs24 Actually the analysis have supported the hypothesis, and have given the "flash" to it by suplying the general hypothesis with the diversified empirical content. \par I was found that there is a much higher incidence of heavier emotionaly charged naming o f "enemy" within the real war-program sample ("Vukovar program" of 1991) then within the main (war/non-war, 1993) sample, with almost nonexistant neutral naming and with no incidence of (at least quoted) possible negative judgements of some behavior on "o ur side". Most specific attitudional-indicators were much more pronounced in the Vukovar program than in the main sample. \par The distribution of themes showed the specific attitudional selectivity: the exclusive theme of the Vukovar program was the Croatia lo cated war events or events concerned with the war in Croatia (e.g. reports on foreign political and media reactions), with almost no mention of other themes (economy, culture, religion, everyday life etc.). There was only one exception of non-war informat i on, but it also had an indirect connection with the war through its contributin to the war-generating political complications: the event was the begining of the formation of the future "Republic of Herzeg-Bosnia" which conflict with the official Bosnia an d Herzegovina political structure was thematized later on in the main sample). Now, the more peace oriented themes present in the progammes of the main sample do indicate the lessening of the war obssesion in it. \par But also, it indicated the ambiguous nature of the news programs of the main sample. The news programs of the main sample had not only }{\i\fs24 reflected}{\fs24 the fact that the Croatia was in ambiguous situation of not a strictly obayed truce situation with Serbs, and of the escalation of the Croat-Moslem confli ct in Bosnia and Herzegovina, but it obviously attemted to build an impression of being the news of the country being in state of peace, but not being able to avoid the still threatening and still existing surrounding war situation. \par The ambiguity of the main sample had been manifested in the similar frequency of peace themes to war themes, in the higher rate of neutral and mildley negative descriptions of the "enemy" then in Vukovar program. \par In both samples the relatively high rate of "emotional coloring" of the news reporting was done by the editor or journalist delivery which show evidence of the implicite "attitude constructing plan" of the news program, even in the main sample programs where this kind of plan is kept subdued, hiden. \par Relatively high in cidence of "thesis" (evaluation, attitude, interpretation) oriented reporting in both samples indicate the tendency to treat the "facts" (event description) just as thesis illustration. Fact reporting does seem to loose its informational self-suficiancy a nd, therefore, its importance, so it is natural that the picture support (which can give the "witness" value to the verbal report) become optional, not necessary, and, consequently, quite frequently omitted. \par In conclusion, the "real war" program tend to be come thematicaly more coherent and unified, discoursively noticably less diversified and attitudionally complitely unified and hightened. On the other hand, the introduction of the more "peace-like" make of news program (as in the main sample programs) im plies the progressive thematic differentiation, more mild and neutral attitude indicators, higher rate of "forum" based informations. \par }\pard \ql \li0\ri0\widctlpar\faauto\adjustright\rin0\lin0\itap0 {\fs24 \par }}
