Abstract
Having become one of the key elements of power, information has also become a
means of information-media competition. Not only has the struggle for informa-
tion led to serious changes in numerous areas including energy, but also over the
possession of information as well. The media, as key transmitters and creators of
information, have become creators of a new reality.
The research part of this paper will be based on a comparative analysis of the con-
tent, i.e. in which way the media located in Mostar and those located in Sarajevo
have informed and formed two groups of the public (Croatian and Bosnian) on
the subject of the Southern Gas Interconnection.
The goal of the paper is to contribute to the exposure of media manipulation of
the public space to which a number of members of the public have been exposed
in Bosnia and Herzegovina and beyond. By introducing new forms of informa-
tion, comparing existing data and information, exposing a series of misinforma-
tion and false information, as well as selecting interlocutors, an attempt will be
made to see how the media reality in case of the Southern Gas Interconnection in
Bosnia and Herzegovina has been constructed.
