Sažetak
The Croatian market of television news programs is an arena where public and commercial broadcasters wage a war for ratings. Every evening the Croatian Television (HRT, a public broadcaster) and the commercial broadcasters Nova TV and RTL produce and air central daily news shows that strive to be the main source of information for most Croatian citizens.
First of all, our aim here is to establish the main principles of news selection for central TV-news shows in Croatia. The working hypothesis is that in the period from 2005 until 2008 the HRT’s central news show Dnevnik has undergone significant changes with respect to the selection of topics, news values and reporting styles and its news selection leads us to believe that it is getting closer to the commercial broadcasters. Although the HRT’s Dnevnik is the news show with the highest average ratings in Croatia, it has lately registered a drop. This trend is partially caused by the development of new media and internet portals that provide instant access to the latest news, instead of waiting for a central TV-news show. But this lack of interest in the central news show of the public TV-broadcaster can also be interpreted in the context of the sway of audiences toward topics and presentation styles that are more typical of commercial broadcasters. The conducted study, an analysis of the information value and topic structure of television news by applying content analysis method, has shown that the central news show of the public broadcaster is getting closer to its commercial counterparts, as far as news selection is concerned.
