Abstract
Throughout the 19th century and up to the 1920s, in the city of Zadar a significant number of serial publications had been issued; these publications have remained important for studying the economic and political history of the city of Zadar and Dalmatia up to the present date. Following the Treaty of Rapallo, and in particular the Treaties of Rome in 1941, the issuing of serial publications in Zadar under control of Italy was significantly decreased. Considering the fascist and irredentist ideologies in force in the said period, almost all of the publications were printed in Italian. This paper offers a contentual analysis of two Zadar newspaper titles dating from the period of World War Two: "Giornale di Dalmazia", published in Italian, and "Glas dobrovoljca", published in Croatian (mainly). The contentual analysis classifies individual topical unities; consequently, a qualitative analysis of the newspaper content follows. The said contentual analysis of the above-mentioned newspapers offers an insight into the economic, political, educational and cultural aspects of the life of the city of Zadar and its inhabitants in the period when these newspapers had been published. It moreover offers a conclusion regarding these newspapers as a medium for the military and political propaganda in that period, and for the transfer of fascist ideas to a wide audience, especially in the case of "Glas dobrovoljca".
