Report: Croatia - Media Integrity Matters

It’s been more than two decades since Croatia gained independence. Th e transformation has been profound and has, in a relatively short period of time, brought a systemic change, moving from a socialist system during Yugoslavia towards a right-wing authoritarian system in the nineties, and then towards a liberal system from 2000 onwards. The transition has symbolically ended with the EU membership in 2013, and it seems that this path implies an overall improvement of social institutions and the “quality of life” in general. However, an opposite claim could also be made, in this case related to the media system in Croatia. The following chapter will demonstrate why. The chapter is based on primary and secondary data: primary data were gathered from three focus groups composed of journalists divided according to the type of media for which they worked, and four interviews with relevant actors.Secondary data included official statistics, reports written by institutions relevant in the field of media, academic research, market research agency reports and investigative journalist articles.
