Abstract
Caricatures are a unique form of conveying daily news whose main emphasis is on humour and satire. Daily, they appear in Croatian media space, but not much research is dedicated to this topic. Therefore, the main question of this research is: What are the characteristics of caricatures in two daily Croatian newspapers throughout 2020 ? For the purpose of determining the basic characteristics of caricatures by Nikola Plečko (Nik Titanik in 24sata) and Srećko Puntarić (Felix in Večernji list,) the method of quantitative content analysis was used. The research is based on a random sample, and the units were carried out through a matrix created precisely for the purpose of this analysis. The key results of the research showed many similarities, but also significant differences in the chosen topic, characters and text in the caricatures of the mentioned authors. This paper is only the base for further analysis of caricatures, especially in the area of stereotypes and wordplay usage.
