Abstract
The Croatian Spring, as one of the crucial events in Croatian history in the second half of the 20th century, will leave a lasting mark on all direct and indirect participants at the time, as well as mere observers. In addition to the main actors and direct and indirect participants, special attention in the research should be paid to archival documents, but also media with regard to the shaping of the events of that time. Reporting on events was achieved by information descending from the Central Committee (in this case the League of Communists) Croatian; (CK SKH) to the national level of media, and then further to the local media. Reflection riots from Zagreb were broadcast by local media according to instructions from the headquarters. The analysis of Glas Podravine will be able to show the characteristics of local media according to the central government. The compilation of archival documents, periodicals, literature, including memoirs will be used to establish the key events in Koprivnica, but also describe the 'spirit' of these times. Although there was a reversal and dismissal of the leading people of the movement in the Central Committee of the SKH, the local media adapted to the situation and continued to publish according to the guidelines that were set by the authorities. Although at first glance, it can be established that the local media revolted and sby reporting sided with the dissatisfied, they were quickly reprogrammed to the initial settings. In fact, they never stopped writing according to the directives of the headquarters, and in short the diversion was a reflection of the chaotic opportunities of the mass movement in which local authorities were acting according to the discretion that comes from the top of the government. A comparative analysis of archival documents and the newspaper will be used to clearly describe the thread that connects the city government and the newspaper's editorial board. Despite protests and riots that took place less than a hundred kilometers away in the main republican city, Glas Podravine is just a display of the time and the closed system of generic reporting, which was clear without having a deeper impact on the content of the news received.
