Sažetak
The most sensitive group of refugees are children, and this paper seeks to determine how the two Croatian national daily newspapers, Jutarnji list and Večernji list reported on refugee children in the first month of their arrival on Croatian territory (from 17 September to 17 October 2015). The method used in the paper is content analysis (qualitative and quantitative) and taken into account were all texts that mentioned refugee children, all photographs that portrayed refugee children and all front pages depicting them. There were 94 texts and 180 photographs of refugee children, distributed almost evenly between Jutarnji list and Večernji list. The research results determined that there were differences in the portrayal of the refugee children in texts as opposed to photographs. They were the dominant subjects in 80 percent of the photographs but in only 12 percent of the texts ; their identity was protected in texts, but not on photographs, and the majority of published texts portrayed children in general while the majority of photographs portrayed only one child. Even though none of the analysed newspapers negatively wrote about refugee children, the number of published photographs with children raises the question of whether they were used as an instrument of attracting attention. In that sense, disputable is the publication of photographs without context as well as the fact that only one analytical text on refugee children appeared in the analysed period, indicating a lack of journalistic initiative to address these important issues.
