LEGISLATIVE CHANGES AND THE PRESS IN CROATIA FROM 1990 TO 2001

Blanka Jergović ; Croatian Radiotelevision, Zagreb, Croatia

Abstract

The author views the changes in the legislation within the framework of the sweeping political changes that occurred in 1990 and 1991. The focus of the analysis of the legislative changes (a comparison of the legislation prior to the political changes with the legislation up to 2002) is the press, the freedom of the press and the media in general, and the cultural changes in the transition that left their impact on the media law, i.e. the conceptual right to information, the respect for privacy, the distinction between the private and the public persons and politicians, the protection of reputation and honour, and the transparency of influences in the media.
