Sažetak

Start of negotiations for Croatian accession to the European Union marked the beginning of the discovery of numerous corruption scandals in Croatia. One of them is Index affair which shook the whole Croatian higher education system in 2008. The Index affair was in the focus of the media and the public for almost two years. Using the content analysis method of most widely read daily newspapers, Večernji list and Jutarnji list, it was analyzed with this article whether all these critics were indeed valid, meaning whether the journalists published the lies, exaggerated with the negative reporting and premature verdicts. With this article the authors explored the quality of newspaper reporting on the Index affair and determined reporting trends. The results showed that today’s media are increasingly assuming the role of the judiciary and violate basic human rights such as respect of human dignity and honor.
