Sažetak
The disintegration of the communist Yugoslavia and the creation of the independent Republic of Croatia, launched a series of social and economic processes, but it also resumed processes started in Yugoslavia, such as the process of privatization. The process of privatization (and conversion) is one of the key transitional processes in which social ownership becomes a private or state ownership. As an important transition process that has affected the lives and destiny of many people (increased unemployment and poverty for one major part of the society and rapid enrichment for other part), the topic of the privatization has become an integral part of everyday discourse, and is also present in all daily and weekly newspapers. It is the newspapers, as a medium of mass communication (along with television), that were one of the main channels through which information and different opinions, about the researched topic, came to citizens. Thus the newspapers, on the one hand influenced public opinion and helped creating it, and on the other hand they were the voice of the public, and also in them is seen the perception of the Croatian public about the process of privatization, but also the perception of politicians and businessmen, and journalists - columnists. The main myths and delusions about the privatization were created in media and over time they will become the ˝privatization legacy˝ and will have an impact on public perception in future. In the proposed research, the author will, using the daily newspapers Vjesnik and Večernji list and weeklies Globus and Nacional, reconstruct the phases of development and changes in the perception of the Croatian public about the process of privatization, will detect myths, delusions and expectations, as well as analyze how much did the communist legacy influenced the public perception about liberal democracy, capitalism and the process of privatization.
