Abstract

Eugen Kvaternik initiated a rebellion against the “Swabian-Hungarian” control in the small village of Bročanac, located near Slunj in the Military Frontier, in response to the dissatisfaction with the Croatian-Hungarian Settlement, both politically and socially. Based on articles from the Dalmatian, Istrian, and Rijeka newspapers from the second half of the nineteenth century, this paper aims to provide an integrative evaluation of the press coverage and perception of the Rakovica Uprising, as well as the relationship between the press and the public regarding its participants. By analysing the period immediately following the rebellion, the objective is to assess the extent to which the journalism of that time could and did revolve around the events in Rakovica. In addition to examining the Zadar press (Avvisatore Dalmato, Narodni list, La Dalmazia cattolica), the paper will also focus on the Istrian newspaper Naša sloga and explore the thematic coverage of the Rakovica Uprising in the press along the Hungarian coast.
