Sažetak

This article explores the media and journalists' influence - power and role -
especially in crisis reporting during the last decades since Vietnam War. Is the media
independent operator or carried out by political leaders and other opinion makers who
are defining the agenda for journalists? Can media be a tool for political leaders, when
they prepare their nation to the war?
The article examines the role of media in the internal development of
Yugoslavia in 1980's, and tries to find answers weather journalists understood 20 years
ago, ie in the late 1980s, that the country was rapidly slipping into a civil war? Would it
have prevented the crisis in the Balkans, if the journalists had acted differently? Have
journalists contributed to the progression of the crisis? What role the war propaganda
played in 1980ies and 1990ies?
Article will also touch the ethical issues of journalism. Do journalists
understand the content of their power. Do they know how to use this tool in a more
cautious way?
