Sažetak

Elements of the entrepreneurial processes – innovation, risk taking and creation are essential attributes of successful media products and services. This shows that media and entrepreneurship, even at the conceptual level, have a strong connection. This paper aims at setting a theoretic framework of relevance and reasons for incorporating education for media entrepreneurship into the curriculums of media studies in Croatia. Based on a review of the higher education programs in media and journalism in Croatia, results of the research clearly show that entrepreneurial learning and development of related competencies are almost non-existent. In the times of maximal democratization and concurrent trivialization of media products that are also characterized by rapid technological changes, entrepreneurial initiatives are of utmost importance for the media and even in the broader social context. Conclusions suggest the importance of entrepreneurial coursework in the media curriculum and entrepreneurial development within the media industry in general with implications both for the traditional media as well as for the new business ventures within the sector.
