Sažetak
In Koprivnica, in September 1945, the publication of the interwar weekly Podravske novine was resumed. The publisher of the paper was the city’s People’s Front, and the project was led by the president of the city’s People’s Committee Ivan Paprika and printer Valko Loborec, members of the KPH, while the majority of texts were written by the only Koprivnica professional journalist Dušan Ožegović. They also played an important role in the pre-war Podravske novine, so they provided the authorities with a guarantee that the paper would satisfy the readership, but also that it would faithfully follow the line of the Party and its political partner HRSS. The main task of the list was the political preparation of the citizens for the upcoming parliamentary and local elections, but also the proclamation, if necessary, denunciation, of smugglers, speculators and other real and potential »enemies of the people«. Despite its high ideology on the rigid party line, the paper is, thanks to Ožegović’s craftsmanship, related to the standards of citizen journalism, and an extremely valuable source of information on the difficult life in post-war Koprivnica, when basic foodstuffs, clothing and firewood were lacking. Despite a landslide victory in the election, the authorities were dissatisfied with the percentage of votes won, which was the prelude to the abolition of the paper in February 1946, citing a shortage ofnewsprint.
