Reporting About the Attack on Dubrovnik by Montenegrin (Bi)Weeklys

Coverage of the war developments during the 1990s by the Croatian and Serbian media has to a great extent already been investigated. On the other hand, the role of the Montenegrin media has so far not been analysed. Their influence on the war developments during the 1990s has rather been superficially marginalised (Thompson, 1994, p.2) and belittled. This paper gives an analysis of the texts published on the topic of the war in Dubrovnik in the period from 1 October to 30 November 1991 by two Montenegrin (bi)weeklys, Nikšičke novine and Boka. The analysis shows that the Montenegrin print media actually played quite an important role in the attempts to justify the military campaign in the Dubrovnik area and manipulate the Montenegrin public into believing that the only right thing to do was to attack Dubrovnik and Croatia.
