Sažetak
The paper explores the issue of human rights and freedoms and journalism in 1989 and 1990 using the example of local newspapers published in the city of Zadar in the Republic of Croatia. The research is based on newspaper articles on human rights and freedoms published in Zadar local newspapers Narodni list and Fokus, in the Republic of Croatia. The defined research period for the paper is from 9 February 1989 to 22 September 1990, when the youth monthly newspaper Fokus was being published. The socio-political changes in the research period were extremely difficult and demanding for Croatia, and they were marked by the dissolution of the SFRY, the transition process, the liberalization, the commencement of the process of democratization and the creation of an independent Croatia. One of the main issues in the then multinational republic of Yugoslavia were, among other things, human rights and freedoms, especially those connected to religious freedoms which during the initial stages of democratization in Croatia received their space in the researched newspapers. The research includes the newspaper articles which are placed in the Human Rights and Freedoms category, published on the pages of the weekly newspaper Narodni list and the youth monthly newspaper Fokus. The paper applies a descriptive, explanatory and qualitative content analysis. 104 newspapers and 1175 newspaper articles were analyzed, among which 41 were published under the Human Rights and Freedoms category. The research findings have showed that the examined local newspapers Narodni list and Fokus, actively informed the readers about the issue of human rights and freedoms.
