Abstract
The popularity of a constant newspaper section in the Croatian journalism, a
column, has encouraged some scientific and professional circles to consider a column as
a journalism genre. Croatian Journalists' Association has established an award for a
comment/column. Since there is a doubt in practice as well as in literature, as some
authors do not consider a column journalism genre while others claim that it is a type of
a journalism research, it was necessary to research what really is a column: a constant
section or a subsection, i.e. a space in the newspapers, or a new journalism genre. This
research has proved that the columns are only space in the newspapers in which
different journalism genres find their place.
