Investigative Journalism, Tabloidisation and Ethics

Gordana VILOVIĆ

Sažetak

The article presents conditions in which a specific form of
investigative journalism in Croatia has been established after
the year 1990. Under the influence of general tabloidisation
of the media worldwide on the one hand, and tabloidisation
of newspapers in Croatia on the other, a so-called
pseudoinvestigative journalism has been developing. The
origins of such investigative journalism can be traced back to
the first Croatian tabloid Slobodni Tjednik. Further development
of investigative journalism in those Croatian media with
the biggest circulation and greatest influence, although
contributing to the discovery of various social anomalies and
scandals, has never quite broken free from the legacy of
quickly publishing unverified information, insubstantiated
speculations or of the disproportionate use of unnamed
sources in comparison with the specified ones. What has
suffered most in this kind of investigative journalism is the
ethics of journalism, which has for years been a poorly
considered element of the professional standards of
journalism. The author states that investigative journalism as
known to the developed democratic countries has not yet
become well-established in Croatia.
