Abstract
By examining media contents, i.e. the digitalized issues of local weekly magazine Glas Podravine this paper researches the state of articles on culture between the years of 1967 and 1971. The aim of paper is to determine by media contents analysis what sort of influence on those articles did the two nationally relevant cultural and political demarcation events have: The Declaration on the name and state of Croatian standard language from 1967. and Croatian Spring in 1971. The concept of reporting of this local weekly magazine, which reports on local/regional topics like naive painting and local literature writers, is all the more interesting during these years because the some major changes that influenced the Koprivnica media scene, most important being the beginning of broadcasting of Radio Koprivnica. Its expenses directly influence the cost of printing and periodicality of Glas Podravine, and mark an increase of popular culture content which results in reporting/editorial practices and strategies: introducing (or dismissing) new rubrics an/or columns, broadening the base of contributing reporters, yellow pages covering events and spectacle, street sellers, prize games for readers, to the ever louder critics of all encompassing passivity which results in “zero cultural life” in town of Koprivnica and the whole region.
