Abstract
The article analyzes the repercussions of the key moments of the Croatian Spring in local newspapers and points out the similarities but also the differences that occur in this regard, which points to the specifics of the situation in local communities. The observed differences indicate how much some objective circumstances, but also personal relationships in certain areas influenced the reception of Spring ideas, their reflection in the local media and ultimately the outcome of dealing with Spring, or the fate of editorial offices and some journalists. The analysis included three local newspapers: Glas Podravine, Karlovački tjednik and Varaždinske vijesti. Comparative analysis allows the formulation of some generalized conclusions related to the mechanisms of functioning of local media in the time of socialist Croatia and Yugoslavia and their dependence on local centers of power.
