Abstract
How much does the HRT fulfils its function of a public service and what is the quality of its news programme? The author gets an answer to these questions by means of a comparative analysis of some news broadcasts by the HRT and the BBC in June and July 2003. The analysis was carried out within the postgraduate study in TV journalism at Goldsmiths College, University of London. Although Croatia and Great Britain have different political and media traditions and are immensely different regarding their media market size, certain professional standards should be the same in all newsrooms, especially on public televisions. By comparing the structure of certain news programmes, the news slots, the dominant topics, the reporting style and the news presentation, the author has noticed some patterns of mistakes in the HRT programmes; using the BBC as a model, he offers some feasible solutions regarding the HRT capacities and the habits of the Croatian viewers.
