Sažetak

This study examined how journalists in Croatia use Twitter and how they differ regarding their work for elite and non-elite media. Research focuses on basic journalistic norms of nonpartisanship, transparency and the gatekeeping. It was found that journalists in Croatia do not use Twitter extensively partly because of small number of overall Twitter users in Croatia. But this study also found that, as a result of Twitter use, journalists were more open and more involved in discussions with consequence of more transparency and changes in their norms. Elite and non-elite journalists differ in topic selection, transparency level and routines. Journalists in elite media are less likely to link, self-promote and write about their personal lives than journalists working for non-elite media.
