Abstract

The author describes today’s deeply divided media positions in Bosnia and
Herzegovina. Reporting on “otherness” is seriously lacking if not completely prevented.
Reporting on the realities of others - their religion or nationality - is suppressed.
The need for Bosnian-Herzegovinian discourse is extremely important for
the reconstruction of Bosnian society. Better communication by the news media,
which would reaffi rm intercultural, international and intersocial connections, should
replace the current state of unappeasable diversity. The unique Bosnian story needs to
be reported; the mass media should be responsible for telling this story.
Through analysis of the Bosnian-Herzegovinian public’s state of pluralistic
ignorance, this study shows in reality, even though the society is segregated, there are
areas of considerable agreement among citizens.
