Sažetak
This article shows the process of liberalization of the media
that took place in the 1960s and early 1970s in Croatia. By
using the methodology of historical sciences and based on
previously unpublished archival sources and relevant
literature, the author researches this process in the context of
wider social and political processes of the 1960s, which
Croatian historians usually characterize as the reform period.
For the Croatian media, this period was a phase of
significant development in both the technological and
professional sense, but also in terms of criticism in which the
media started to change their role as an independent social
factor. Numerous Croatian journalists started to adopt the
liberal concept of the public sphere and the role of media,
but the process was stopped by the highest political officials
in late 1971 and early 1972. The liberalization process and
its end is analyzed through the activities of the Croatian
Journalists Society, the umbrella organization of journalism
in the Socialist Republic of Croatia and through the activities
of the biggest Croatian media companies of that time.
