Abstract

Croatia’s EU accession has been covered in Croatian dailies as
one of the pivotal foreign-policy events of the past several years
judging by the number of the pertinent texts in the periods covered by this analysis (the positive avis and the postponement of the negotiations): in the four studied months in 2004 and 2005, a total of 1,523 texts in the three analyzed dailies (Večernji list, Jutarnji list, Vjesnik) were identified. Regardless of the differences in the profile of these dailies, there are no significant differences in reporting, which shows that the process of Croatia’s EU accession is not only a popular topic but also utilized by the media and politics. The content analysis of the three Croatian dailies confirms that the European Union is presented within a political framework, while a whole array of other related topics has been neglected in the coverage.
